Ethanol doesn't "spoil". It is a very stable molecule and miscible with water.

The main issue is that it has a strong affinity for water so it needs to be stored in containers that are sealed from the environment. The same issue exists with the ubiquitous ethanol/gasoline blends.

The cheap thin-walled gas containers you find in the auto parts store or on Amazon sell a heck of a lot better than the good stuff.

This just doesn't meet up with the day to day reality of your average consumer.

Even your gas station underground tanks aren't airtight. The problem is that the air around us has tons of water vapor in it.
