Vintage Wine,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?
he passed away so me and my mom are going through his things..

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.

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

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

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.

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

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