i got some really old wine today and i dont know if its any good or worth anything its all from 1970-1975ish some white some red... anyone know anything about wine?

What I know about wine:-

I Like It. That's what I know about Wine!
I have never liked beer, nor "hard liquer" ~ but I've always
had a soft spot for WINE - Burgundy or White or Gold...
No real "Gotta have it" favorite.....

what i know about wine its red or white and it gets ya drunk!

for real though there is no english on any of this stuff how do i know what it is? who should i talk to about this? there is maybe 100 bottles of all sorts of wine

Pm me with what the bottles have written on them. I lived in France for the last 3 years and my wife is french. We know a little bit about wine

My neigbor is big into wines Send me a list or pictures And will see what I can find out.

PS How's the ASC running !

You are bring it to Monroe on Sept 23 right!!

ok guys next time im home im going to take some pics of all the bottles most are from france or italy and then ill send them your way. i did read online that they are probly no good... too old

As a general rule Whites hold up about 5-7 years , Reds can last lots longer. It just depends on the grape. Some pix should help. The reds may be ok, the whites may have gone to the dark side

You can probably cook with it.

yeah there seems to be alot of whites that will be long long long gone.

so i made it home. i was going to take some pics of the wine but its all gone!

the story is that last winter my grandparents house had 3 pipes burst when they were in FL. the whole house was distroyd $200,000 worth of damage. the wine was in there basment and was moved up stairs to "dry" out. now 7 months later they have a construction crew fixing all the drywall and everything that was ruind from the weeks of water. the house is EMPTY other then the 100 plus bottles of old wine and the NEW stove top and other cooking things. plus my grandparents bedroom dressers still had tons of stuff in it like my grandmas cheaper jewlery. not 1 window in the whole house has anything on it you can see right in.

im sure you all know where this is going... somone broke in and stoll everything! it was clearly the construction crew. i dont think even a crackhead would break into an empty house. WHO BREAKES INTO AN EMPTY HOUSE!!! also a wood cabnet with a lock on it was clearly f***ed with judging by the HUGE screwdriver gash marks in the wood but that was before the break in.

what can my famley do? dont they think my almost 90 yearold grandparents have sufferd plenty? i mean by the time they move back in it wll be 1 1/2 years since they had lived in the house... what can we do?

Shame, damn shame. Getting old is a heartache, just living is hard, without "events". I am sorry for you.
