My question was more of, does dessert wine age well or is it best consumed closer to the release/sell date.

[JPaul]

Open it, if it smells like pish don't drink it.

Trust your olfactory senses.

[Proper Bo]

Open it, if it smells like pish drink it anyway, you paid for it ffs.

fixed.

[weenden]

as long as the it was in a cool spot and on its side some what and the cork stayed moist it should be fine ....and if its not just cook with it marinate a steak with it you texan

Texan Wine - Texan Wine ffs. Wine, from Texas.

It beggars belief.

Rule of thumb Sky zoo, only good wine ages well. Pish doesn't get better with age. Was it good stuff or pish when you bought it.

There's plenty of decent wine that comes out of the hill country.

I don't know what this cost at the time of purchase but I would have never paid a great deal for it. It was prolly $20-30 bucks though. I don't know enough about wine to appreciate anything that costs more than that.

The best wine is not the most expensive, sometimes a $6 is great.
The older the wine the better it is, so if you let it in a corner a few more years it will be great.
Never put a bottle of wine in the fridge, wine is to leave out and drinkit like that.

When wine goes bad, because of the cork, or because it was near a source of heat etc, it turns itself into vinager.

[CrabGirl]

Best wine is not the most expensive - True.
The older a wine is the better it is - Bollocks. True for some wines but pish for others. All wine has eventual drink by dates.
Never put a bottle of wine in the fridge - Bollocks x 2 What about white wine.
When wine goes bad because of the cork or because it was near a source of heat it turns itself into Vinegar. Ummmm..... if you want to know about Wine faults I'll give you some info but thats pish also.


Skizo, Sorry I didn't see this thread. Dessert Wines generally keep well because of the high amount of residual sugar. I'm guessing it may be very good. Let me go look it up in the trade sites and I'll come back to you in a bit. Good maker though.

Please PLEASE don't marinade a steak with Dessert wine. Ughhh....

[CrabGirl]

Has it got a grape variety or any more info on the bottle? Does it say something like "Late Harvest" and then the grape type?

He would never do that...every Texan knows that the only proper marinade is the blood of an Okie.
