Vintage Wine,I don’t plan on buying it. I’m just curious
There's a $360 vintage 1885 bottle of wine at a store near my home. Would it still be drinkable?

The answer to this one is in fact somewhat of a lottery.
Provided the cork has not deteriorated, it should be an excellent wine.
But many an oenophile (wine lover). has been disappointed by a bottle being corked, after paying a fortune.
But then a lot of people would buy this bottle as an investment and not dream of drinking it.

Yep. And I bet it’d be DAMN good

The potential for it to be drinkable is there, but $360 is really freakin’ cheap for something that old – I would imagine it’s more a curiosity than a good bottle of wine.
