Wine Shelf Life

[commander]

I have 2 bottles of unopened Mouton-Cadet
wines, one red, one white, stored on their side in a cool, dry location, showing 1987 & 1989 respectively. Would they still be o.k. to drink? Thank you.

Hi Commander, and welcome to the Wine Board. That brand is released for immediate consumption. The red might still be OK.

Hi Conmmander and welcome to the board. Would be quite unlikely the 87 Red would be alive as it was not a good vintage in Bordeaux, and Ik is right about the White. WW

The point is: open them and find out; they certainly are worthless otherwise.
