Had a nice bottle in the fridge for about two years, was planning to save it for when Sheffield United win something. Cue jokes and maybe some advice.

Does it have to go in a fridge to be stored?

Has it got a sell by date?

I've had a bottle in its box in the kitchen since 2002.

No best before or use by dates.

it will keep for years, but make sure you lie the bottle down in order to prevent the cork drying out; if you don't get round to drinking it maybe you could just shove it up neil warnock's arse

It's been standing up for 12 years.

I have no idea who Neil Warnock is, is he a poof?

I opened a magnum that was at least 20 years old quite recently.

Probably past its best but certainly still quaffable.

Take no notice of these health and safety pillocks and people out to rob you blind by 'informing' you that you now need to throw that bottle away and buy another one because it's out of date.

You can soon tell if it tastes okay by opening and tasting the bleeder.

I think their is a distinct difference with vintage champagne and ordinary champagne. I believe vintage champagne can be kept for years if not decades but its my understanding ordinary champagne has only a limited lifespan.

"I was planning to save it for when Sheffield United win something".


Just go to Google and ask the question, can I keep champagne 200 years?
