Keeping Liquid in Food Grade 18/8 Stainless Steel Bottles

Can anyone tell me . . . if an 18/8 bottle is filled with liquid and sealed, how long the liquid will stay fresh inside? Is there any potential for rusting or spoiling of any kind?

Thank you!

The length of time your liquid will stay fresh is more related to the type of liquid and the ambient temperature than it is to the composition of the container it is in.

18/8 is a good grade of stainless and normally won't rust unless it is exposed to a lot of chlorides. You should be fine with most beverages I can think of.
