How long will a maintenance free motorcycle battery last if left in its original box, without adding acid or activiating? Also just curious how long will a activated MF battery last if activated, and kept charged regularly?

I want to buy some xenon hid bulbs for my car, but i want to buy some that aren't going to out every 3 months. I brought some matrix xenon bulbs and those lasted between 5-8 months before they went out, but i'm looking for some xenon bulbs that will at least make it a year without going out. Do any of these lighting compaines make xenon hid bulbs that will last that long or longer?

If I fine chop garlic and put it into the refrigerator for later use, how long will it last? How about the freezer? How long to thaw before use? Any damage to the flavor?

I have had two bottles of unopened white wine in the fridge since June. They are the last of the leftovers from my wedding. Will they be ok to serve or do I need to just buy a couple of new bottles for this weekend? Thanks! thanks rich...what about if I have not left them on their side? I didn't even think about that.
