Therefore most white wines don't age well. Even the ones which do get better through time will not last nearly as long as their red cousins. A fair average for many ageable whites would be about 5 to 7 years (some might go 10). On the other hand, really ageable reds can easily be kept for 30 years and longer.
These are gross generalizations. The longevity of an opened bottle depends greatly on the overall quality and concentration, too. A great red Burgundy can blossom after four or five days with exposure to a bit of air - but I have to stress the word great, as in a $90-plus grand cru. It also depends strongly on how much wine is left in the bottle. The higher the fill (and thus smaller the air pocket), the longer the wine will last.
