Wine FuturesHow to choose a wine for the holidays to come?

My friend is getting married this year and I might like to buy 3 bottles of wine as a great gift-1 to open their 5 years. Anniversary, 1 for 10 and 1 for their 15th or 20th. The problem is that I know nothing about wine. Choosing wines to open at future dates? Do wines have a specific year when they are at their best?
Forgive my ignorance, I am not a wine drinker at all!
Thank you!

5 years
Economy: a good Napa Cab ($ 25-35), Spanish Garnacha, Monastrell Rioja
price: 2000 Barolo, 2000/01 on the left bank of Bordeaux.

10 years
Economic Napa Cab ($ 45-75), Rhone Syrah 2001/03/04
price: 2001 Barolo or Barbaresco, Bordeaux 2003, 2003 Ribera del Duero

15/20 years
price: 2005 Bordeaux, 2005 Chateauneuf-du-Pape, 2000 Vintage Port, 2004 Napa Cab ($ 125-300), 2005 Red Burgundy

Hope this helps.

If I had to keep the wine for so long, I would say three Italian Super Tuscans. Since the first would not open for at least 5 years, I would buy the 2004 vintage.
My choice would be:
Antinori Solaia "
Antinori "Tignanello"
Marchesi Incisa della Rocchetta "Sassicaia"

Be prepared to pay an average of $ 100 hp. but the wine and the gift of these three is something that will always be valuable.
Well at least until it is completely gone.

Ego has good advice. Go to your local wine or liquor store and ask for advice. Let them know your budget.
