how long would an unopened bottle of red wine be good for?!


Question: How long would an unopened bottle of red wine be good for?
it's a barone pizzini san carlo 2001.. do you think it's still good?

Answers:

It's a Cab-Merlot blend, so it's definitely the style of wine that can typically benefit from aging. I can't find much about the wines, so I suspect they aren't on the high end and therefore not meant to age forever. But 10 years, if properly stored (constant, cool temperature, preferably on its side), may be great to have softened the tannins and not yet gone past its prime.

Open the bottle. If it's truly bad, you'll smell it right away. If it doesn't smell awful, you can taste it and you won't get sick from it. Then it's just up to your preferences to decide whether or not to drink it.

Here's the Barone Pizzini website - maybe you can dig more info out of it than I can (they have an English version, but stuff like the pdfs are only in Italian). http://www.bramley.demon.co.uk/faugeres-…



Not all wine gets better with age. But if its been bottled properly, and hasnt been opened, then its not going to bad if you open it 10 years later.

Just, if it was a bad wine to begin with, dont expect a miracle



It's still on sale so it must be ok http://www.vinogusto.com/en/wine/232432/…



YEAS! WINE GETS BETTER AS IT AGES, THATS WHY PEOPLE PAY BILLIONS OF G'S FOR REALLY OLD WIN

BEING A FANCY PANTS RICH MAN



It can stay good forever. The longer you keep it the better it will taste.



if wine is stored properly it will be good for a very long time



it will be good til the day you die..
