Aged Wine and Space Time

Question

Some poskim rule using aged wine for kiddush (40 days) as hiddur mitzvah, also wine being aged affects the Halacha for Hatov vehameitiv. If a Jewish Astronaut is in space, do they use the earth zemanim/time to determine a wine’s age or outer space’s?

    Rav Elyashiv paskened that in space one should use the Earth’s concept of time. For example, keeping Shabbos times and the like. I would assume that that would be as applicable to aged wine.
