Re: Crabgirl, looky here!
What about champagne? The husband won himself a bottle of GH Mumm Cordon Rouge. Is it any good? Should I drink it now or leave it?
Amd why is it that champagne gives me a headache?

Good Champagne (in moderation shouldn't give you a headache) That Cava stuff does though - a couple of glasses of that is a like a blow from a hammer.

No, not really an info at all regarding the grapes or seasonal info, but it does say it was naturally fermented. That prolly doesn't help though. :unsure:
Re: Crabgirl, looky here!
If its a 98 it should be fine unless its faulty. It's not going to get much better than it is now to be fair so I'd bust it open over xmas and get yer chops round it. Drink it with pudding, but make sure the pudding is not as sweet as the wine so cheesecake or something would be good.
I've found some info about that wine but none as old as yours. They do a red version and a white version. Which is yours?
Whats the alcohol content also?

Vintage or Non-Vintage? Does it have an NV mark or a date on it?
Re: Crabgirl, looky here!
I've got bottles of stella, should I drink them now or do they get better after I've bought some more tabs?

It's got a date and a lot number printed on the bottom but I can't make it out. It's blown into the glass.
Re: Crabgirl, looky here!
I have a Bottle of Bollinger 1982
Well Mrs JP has if I'm being accurate. I bought it for her.
We have no intention of drinking it btw. I bought it for her in 1992 as a 10th anniversary present. It cost a pretty penny, for the time.
(At Crabby, it was actually actually an R.D. 1982 but these pheasants would know that that means)
Re: Crabgirl, looky here!
ewe bought wine that was 10 years old instead of getting a new bottle?:no:
