Champagne help please

Wow! must have been a rubbish few years to still have them knocking about.

make jelly with them.

actually they were sitting behind some other cheapo red wines and i kinda forgot about them.
from what i've read a normal nv is ok for 2 or 3 years, just wondering if verve cliquot makes any difference.

as you can probably tell what I know about champagne i could fit onto a postage stamp

you wont die


will be passable.... try bucks fizzing it :)

i had some old nv once for helping clear out and old pub.. tasted a bit off but i was 19 and it got you drunk :D
hth

am afraid i can't help, dunno anything about ageing alcohol, I have a bottle of beer on a shelf in my living room thats 11 years old, don't think i'll ever drink

Búgger.

I've got a bottle of NV Piper that is 10 years old.

Might still be ok, but only one way to find out.

I've got a can of Special Brew with a July '94 date on it.

EGG

that's like living with an undetonated bomb!!!

I'm going on Antiques Roadshow in a few years.

i'll take it to a party tomorrow, let you know how it goes

1.80 = crash and burn
3.10 = passable

Send em here, I'll drink ******* anything.

how did you not get round to drinking it EGG?

It was the last of the old style cans.

Just kept it.

I've got a bottle of beer for running in the Blaydon races, kept it as a souvenir

organise a boy racer session round your local tesco car park. celebrate your win by spraying them everywhere. always safety first.

It'll be perfectly fine.

its most likely much improved ...as long as it hasnt gone off ....the colour will be deeper ...more biscuit on the nose ....less fizz ...fuller flavour having lost alot of the acidity which can be associated with young champagne .you should notice that the cork dosent flare out so much

it will be fine.

and aged bitter, particularly bottled, often is better if it allowed to mature. Just don't shake it, open it carefully and don't pour the lasy inch from the bottle.

one sip will tell you if OK, but normally wonderful

Fine yes, but perfectly fine?

You disappoint me

You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue - an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance.

The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.

While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them.

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king.

You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; in your hands He has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, He has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.

After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom , one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth.

Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron - for iron breaks and smashes everything - and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.

Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay.

As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.

And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.

This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands - a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces. 'The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy.

'Twas ever thus :|

It will be fie

fecking neck it son.

Just drink it you little siissy,won't kill you.Poof.
