Dear Gab,

Don't be to hasty in throwing that bottle out yet. Tho I agree that it is past it's prime, you may want to find out how it was cellared. If done properly it may still retain some character.

Best thing to do is to open it let it breathe for about half an hour, pour some into a glass, sniff it to see if it smells vinagery, taste it (just a small sip and be ready to spit it out if sour), if it tastes mellow and has a nice fragerence to it drink it. If not use it for cooking or as a salad dressing. This all depends on how it tastes to you.

Good Luck, Good Drinking and Cheers
