Just thought i would let you all know that the wine is fine, very nice in fact, i am on my second glass.:beer:

I feel a hangover coming on:rotfl:

The answer is yes... my dad used to run a pub and he said that alcohol doesn't go off as long as it's not open. Even then, spirits are still fine for years

Id say yes its still fine to drink, try a bit of it and see what its like, is it red, white or rose

I can't see how you could possibly have wine in your house for that long!!!!!!! Glad it was OK though, although what excuse am I going to find now for having to drink the wine we have?

I have to say wine does not normally last this long in my house but it was right at the back of my understairs cupboard and had had everything under the sun piled in front of it.

it is really very nice though and i am sure it will not last long now it is opened:rotfl:

FYI, bag in box wines keep much longer than bottles when opened because the bag collapses inwards as the wine is poured, so no air gets to it. Enjoy!

i have just come across a box of wine that has a best before date of August 2008, do you think it will still be ok to drink. It has never been opened

thanks

Well, I'd drink it!

Even if it tastes foul you won't care after two glasses.

How does this happen? :rotfl:

It's a bit like the suggestion to freeze left-over wine. Left-over wine? :rotfl:

That is just what I was wondering!!

It would never happen in this household:o :rotfl:

I never realised wine had sell by dates as I thought it was supposed to improve with age- learn something new everyday! lol

Most wine doesn't have a best before date and legally, it's not required to have one unless it's less than 10% ABV
