Is this bottle of vintage wine i found still good?

Question

i found a bottle of rothschild mouton cadet 1971 in my uncles garage i know not a very expensive wine... it was in the corner laying on its side undisturbed... it is a large 1 gal 2qt bottle so i obviously cant open it just to drink it... is it good?

Answer 1

yes wine is good for a long period of time..

if u are still not sure then when you open it up you can check the wine by tasting a small amount it is tastes weired then spit it out

Answer 2

it is good if it has'nt been opened

Answer 3

Unless the garage is environmentally controlled, I'd say it's gone bad.  High temperatures in the summer will kill a wine.

Answer 4

You'll know when you try it.  But that is a very expensive bottle by the way. It was a very warm summer. ;)

Answer 5

Wouldn't give a cent for your stuff - but the answer is in the bottle - not here

Answer 6

Souds like it was in a cool dark spot. And it was laying on its side. Inspect the cork or seal. If it is not damaged and you like wine open it up let it breath for 10 min. and pour over cruched ice or drink at room temp.

Answer 7

Leave that for your uncle to decide. It's his, after all.

Answer 8

if the cork was soaked it might still be good. If you open it taste it a lil you will know right away cause it will be like vinegar.
