Is it safe to drink unopened bottle of 2003 Cabernet Merlot in Jan 2008?!
Answers: We are looking at 2003 Cabernet Merlot bottle in January 2008. Is it safe to drink it. It has preservative 220 in it.
Seriously?! Wine, especially red wine, often improves with age (preservatives or not)! That's why people made it! The most expensive wine in the world has sat around for years. So yes, safety is not an issue. There is the chance (as with any wine) that it could be "corked", meaning that air has gotten to the wine. If the wine smells or tastes vinegary, get rid of it. It won't hurt you, it just won't taste good.
bro it's better with age, maybe if you lucky it'll be hella strong. take a cap full to taste! not likes gonna be posion or anything that would kill you
Absolutely! Some of your super expensive wines are 50 years old and older!
Hell yes! Now go open that wine, drain it and come back and tell us how it was! :-)
ship it to me and i'll let ya know, i pay for the shipping
hmm... if it has an artificial preservative in it I suspect that it will be just as god now as it was when it was bottled... probably not very good
Not if you're going to get trashed on it around a lot of people that will take sexual advantage of you.
