    Champagne - 6-12 months for non-vintage; 2-3 years for vintage.

    Its well out of date, but don't worry Judi and I will take it off your hands as we have found a good way to recycle it. Just tell us which Park bench you want us to meet you at as i'll be the one with the bottle of Pimms in a brown paper bag ;D What do you say Judi 50/50 ;)

    :)Non-vintage champagne can be kept for up to 10 years in a cool dark place , but you would need an iron will to leave it alone for that long :-X
