skymama 37 #1 October 5, 2009 This bottle of wine was found amongst my Grandmother's belongings. Knowing what a pack-rat she is, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 25 years old. Some of the other liquor we found had rusty tops on them. The bottle has been opened, so that's the thing that scares me. The 18% alcohol content and the quick buzz is what intrigues me! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,566 #2 October 5, 2009 Just distill it; make something stronger and get rid of the icky stuff that's most likely on top. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

micduran 0 #11 October 5, 2009 Honestly, I'm surprised there is still liquid in the bottle. Smell it. If it doesn't smell bad taste a little straw full. It isn't like it will kill you or anything. With that ABV, it was made with lots and lots of sugar. Maybe it is well preserved. Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

skymama 37 #12 October 5, 2009 I was just talking to Grandma, she said my dad might have been the one to open it just last night! I just smelled it, it smells like a Port.

BikerBabe 0 #13 October 5, 2009 most reds tend to last longer than whites, and if it doesn't smell like vinegar, it probably hasn't turned. and to the person who throws away bottles after two weeks....i'm sorry you've never experienced a good bottle of wine. Some have to sit for 10 more years before it's time to drink them! Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

tigra 0 #16 October 5, 2009 I think she was referring to an open bottle, not one that's been resting in the wine cellar for a while. But, I also thought the rule was- if you won't drink it, don't cook with it either. That's one I follow anyway. Besides, who doesn't enjoy a nice glass of wine while cooking?

It was ok going down, but then it had a really weird aftertaste and tasted nothing like blueberries. It was so bad, I had to eat peanut M&M's to cleanse my palate. I poured the rest down the drain.

SpeedRacer 1 #22 October 6, 2009 Nothing dangerous can grow in fermented drinks (such as beer or wine or cider or mead) So the worst that can happen is that it will taste bad. But there won't be anything in there that can really harm you. That is why, before municipal water purification, people (even kids) would only drink beer.
