How long can you keep unopened wine before it is bad?!
If stored properly a white can lay maybe two years.
Again, if stored properly a red can lay seven or eight.
However, my recommendation would be to drink them much sooner than that length of time.
Answers: Most wines, and I say that to exclude collector wines, are ready to drink right off the shelf.

It will not go bad it just goes flat like soda
I know some red wines can be kept for years (my friend have some that can be cellared for at least another 8 years). I'm not sure what mimosa wine is though so I can't really help.
Try reading the label for suggestions (eg can be cellared for 2 or 3 years) or contact the wine maker.
Mimosa is made from champagne and orange juice. Champagne does not keep for more than 24 hours in the refrigerator. Drink it all or throw it away.
That really depends on what kind of wine and how it was kept.
Generally speaking, Red wines last longer than White wines. Thicker taste wines last longer than lighter taste wines. Well kept wines last way longer than badly kept wines.
Assuming the wine is stored at right temperature (50-55 degree F), no light and stored horizontal with right humidity, white wines like Sauvigon blanc and Chardonnay should last 4-5 years at most. Pinot and Merlot about 5-7 years. Cab and Zin can last 20 years or more if it is well taken care of.
However, as you store it longer than 3-5 years, the taste will start to change even for the heavier taste wines like Cab and Zin. I typically drink mine before 5 years is up. =)
It is a custom for a man to buy a bottle of port when his son is born. The two of them share it on the son's 21st birthday. Not all wines improve for that long. A few continue to improve for even longer.
Wines are like people. They mature, mellow, and then senesce and die.
