Ahh, very clear now. I couldn't tell you for sure if the bottles will leak because I don't know how they've been stored. If they've been on their sides for all these years, you should be fine displaying them. The corks will have stayed wet and well sealed. If they've been standing up then there's a chance the corks are drying out and may leak. You can't really tell if the corks are drying out without removing the foil capsules. About the only indication the corks are drying out might be a lower fill in the bottles than normal.
