If it's unopened, sure.
In general, wine is said to improve with age.

I don't know a lot about wines, but they do say that wine gets better with age... 
Two things to think about before you regift it though:
A) Is there an expiration date?
B) Make sure the wine is still the right color!

My husband (the wine expert in the family lol) says that wine lasts about 6 years in the bottle before it starts to taste bad.
Unless it's a really really expensive wine, in which case it will just get better with age.
Not sure what "really expensive" means though...

Where was it stored? If it’s been somewhere cool like a basement, totally fine. If it’s been temperature cycling in your hot kitchen, could easily have gone bad.

Depending on the wine, red ages better than white.
Dry better than sweet.
Some wines are good even after 2 years if they are from a good vintage, meaning that wine that year was good, if its an expensive wine you might find that information with a quick search as good years are recorded, etc.

Here in Israel you can get a lot of wines from previous years in the shops - never had a bad one. I opened a bottle of some Merlot red wine from 2018 for last Shabbat - it was perfectly good. We also had something from 2014 or 2016 a few weeks back - it was still good.
Dh once opened a 10 year old bottle which somehow had survived at the back of the drinks cabinet. It had dark sediment on the bottom and tasted like vinegar, so 10 years seems to be too much for cheapo wines.

Wine in a store labelled 2014 means the grapes were harvested in 2014 and was recently bottled. Cheap wine sitting in your house for 2 years is not the same thing.
If it’s an expensive bottle it should be good. A cheap bottle probably went bad by now.

From: https://home.binwise.com/blog/aged-wine#
Yes, wine does age in the bottle. But not every wine should be purposefully aged in its bottle. 90% of bottled wines are meant to be drunk right after bottling or at maximum five years after bottling. That corresponds to wines with retail prices of roughly $40 and below (here’s a helpful post about wine bottle pricing). After around five years the composition of the phenolic compounds fundamentally alters the wine’s character.
