The longer you leave it, the better its supposed to taste but I never heard of a minimum time...

... and I know it probably it probably depends on the wine too.

Go to a proper wine sellers and ask when they talk you into buying a bottle.

these so called "experts" in these articles are nothing but educated guessers.
So from what I just read, Im going to guess about 10 years.- some wine does get worse, like imnotadesigner said, there's a peak for some. apparently.airey

When storing wine lay it down on it's side so the cork doesn't dry out.

it really depends on the wine.
I'm not an expert, but this looks like an ok introduction:

When wine is made there are estimates on a) when it's drinkable; b) when it's reached its optimum state; c) when it's no longer acceptable. Each wine is different. When a bottle hits the shelves of your local liquor stores it's somewhere between "a" and "c".
Personally, we always et bottles back for "special" celebrations. We just make sure we have a lot of "special" celebrations and the wine never goes bad. :D
