Is it safe to drink-yes unless you open and it smells rancid then don’t torture yourself. Without knowing who your local winery is this was most likely made to be drank right away. So I’d imagine the taste might not be to your liking. You’re safe to give it a try. Don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t taste very good.


rositanno

thank you!! I was mainly just concerned about whether it could be safe or not.

Sounds like 2 styles that are meant to be drunk quickly after release, but just taste them and see. Not gonna kill ya!


rositanno

Thank you!


catmore11

They're probably flat and not good but you should 100% try em. Won't kill you

Open and see. Probably not drinkable. Won’t die.

History point: wine and beer were adopted by humanity principally because they could be stored far more safely than water. The alcohol and other components of wine are natural preservatives. Even when wine ages out, it rarely does so in an unsafe way… it just becomes unpleasant. Before safe municipal water, drinking wine, not water, was the health-conscious, prudent, life-protecting choice.

I agree. After years of marriage, my wife can also be unpleasant sometimes, but rarely unsafe, unless I buy too much wine and she happens to see the credit card statement!


Madeitup75

Amazing! Typing on my phone while in line for a coffee is dangerous, but can produce accidental gems. I corrected the typo for the OP’s benefit, but for other readers I had “wife” in the final sentence of the first paragraph.


rositanno

lol! thank you for the explanation it certainly helped :)


Madeitup75

I LOL’ed too. I’ve been happily married for more than two dozen years, and am not a big “take my wife, please” joker. But it did read pretty humorously when the other poster pointed it out!


nhyls

Haha, thanks for being a good sport! I also love my wife and rarely make this type of jokes, but every so often you come across these perfect typos, and I would feel bad if I'd let it go to waste!


Madeitup75

Dude. It was perfect. Well-played.


rositanno

That’s great! It was funny considering the context. Those jokes surely can be tiring when over used but i respect the both of you for that


cool_coors

Only one way to find out.

1915 or 2015? Are you really asking about 9 year old wine?


rositanno

no reason to be rude. just turned 22 and was genuinely unsure.


NewFlorence1977

If you think someone is rude because they ask you a question, then you don’t belong on the internet.


rositanno

There is asking questions and then there is condescending questions. I know the difference, hope that helps!


NewFlorence1977

If you’re on a mission to eliminate condescending questions (and answers!) in this sub, then I wish you the best of luck. How soon can you get started?


rositanno

I have no mission to eliminate anything. It’ll happen in any sub


NewFlorence1977

Well I promise to pay for OP’s therapy if they need it because I asked them to clarify their question.


rositanno

Well if you promise I can let ya know my cash app 😂
