Can a wine that's gone bad, be turned into wine vinegar?!
Can a wine that's gone bad, be turned into wine vinegar?
Ditto for champagne? I know that proper storage is in order for wines and champagnes to maintain their integrity, however, if given alcohol from relatives who decided to 'clean out' their stash - there is no way of knowing if any of it is any good until it is actually opened.
If a bad bottle is opened, I know from aroma and taste, you can tell if it's turned, and granted you wouldn't want to drink it, but is there a way these can be turned into wine or champagne vinegars?
And at that point, can one make the most of it in a sauce reduction? Or is it a general rule to just toss it. It seems like such a shame if this is the case.
Please advise. Thank you in advance for your answers!

I also want to know - if this IS possible and you can turn it into a wine vinegar, what is the shelf-life of that and do you have to store it in the refrigerator?

If you leave the wine in the bottle too long it turns into vinigar. Once your open, drink it (imediately), cook with it (week old- 2 weeks old) and then toss it (2 weeks +). Its not going to age well open exposed to the air.
