Why date codes on products are important?

Why are date codes on products are important?

How old is the wine, grape juice, other grocery items, etc.

   1st                                                  2nd &3rd                    4th
Month                                    day of month                             year

A - K                                                                                            A  -   M
"A"   = Jan-                                                                                                        "A" being 2000 (or 01)
"K"    = Dec                                                                                  "L" or "M"  =2012

Now check the dated on your Kedem wine & Grape Juice & see if it's fresh or how old. 

Of course Yoshon, you must know how to read the date codes.

My Kedem grape juice is over 2 years old.

My rashi wine is off color, off taste, oops it's also old stock that the store got in recently.

Is that date, the date bottled or is it the "Use before date" or "Sell by date"? There is a code but no value to what it means.
