No, it doesn't. Spirits do not appreciate in bottle as *good* wine 
will. They will, however, hold for huge chunks of time w/o showing 
appreciable change.

Beer, by comparison, begins to degrade (albeit slowly) from the 
moment it is packaged. Keeping it refrigerated till drinking will keep 
it good longer. 

In summary, drink your beer fresh, dont worry about spirits for 
many years, and taste cellared wine as you go to assure drinking 
it at its peak before it begins its long trip downhill to the vinegar 
that all wine eventually becomes.
