'der Ausbau' and 'die Lagerung' can both refer to wine when it remains in barrels or tanks for a period of time after production. Here, 'der Ausbau' means the aging and refinement of the wine: the wine develops flavor and quality. 'die Lagerung' more generally means storage under suitable conditions. The words can be confused because wine is also stored during 'Ausbau'. But 'Ausbau' is the more technical term for the wine’s development, while 'Lagerung' only emphasizes storage.
