Ethanol will soak up water, so if it is stored in an air-tight container, then technically, it shouldn't ever go bad. However, if you have it sitting in a gas tank, or something else that is exposed to the elements, that would not hold true.

In a newer gas tank E85 will be fine over the winter too.
