If in any doubt flush it.
However I am told that non-aged sake is best drank within a year of being bottle.
I am also told that sake does not go bad overtime the taste just becomes more mellow.
It is September 2010 and I am just about to open a bottle with 05/09 on it - now whether that is the best before date or the bottling date I have no idea...so I guess it's time for me to say sayonara...
Non-vintage wines are designed to be consumed within one to two years of production. However there are many variables that affect their shelf life.
Wine must be kept cold, so if the store you are purchasing from or the location you have been storing the wine gets above 70F that could accelerate the rate of spoilage. If the wine has a traditional cork, it should be stored laying on its side, otherwise the cork dries out and air leaks in. Plastic corks are only designed for one to two years of storage. UV light also damages wine and bottles should be kept in incandescent light or kept in shade.
spirits last for up to 50 years with no problems. if it has been opened then it shouldn't be sold.
A week maybe 2 at most
Several days. Think wine.
Premium sake should be stored carefully. The best method is refrigeration, but cool temperatures (10C to 15C, or 50F to 60F) are acceptable. Avoid direct strong light. Do this and the sake will keep its original flavor for six months or so...Traditionally Sake is supposed to be drunk fresh, not aged. Well at least not aged in the same way wine is, within the last 12 months is best. So don't keep it too long before enjoying it.Once you open your bottle of sake, it is suggested that you enjoy the complete bottle within two or three hours, and if you have friends over that's not too hard. If you simply can't finish it all, please store in your refrigerator and drink the remainder within the next two days. Premium sake, once opened, begins to oxidize, and this noticeably impacts the taste. If, for whatever reason, you cannot finish your bottle of sake, and it sits in your refrigerator or pantry for longer than three days after being opened, consider using it to prepare and cook food

"Sweet Sake" comes in two forms. The first is also called "Mirin"; it is usually an inferior sake that you can use at home for cooking or in Japanese sauces; people drank it as Sweet Sake during the Edo Period. It costs around $5-10 per 750 ml. The second is called "Nigori" Sake and is for drinking; It can go from medium sweet to creamy sweet. You decide whether you want to use it or the Mirin for cooking. Good sake should be served slightly chilled, like white whine. Nigori starts at about $10.00 per 750 ml. and goes to $30-50++ per bottle. If I were using it in a drink, I would use Nigori. If the sake is the principal ingredient, I would use a moderately priced bottle, just as I would if I were using bourbon or any other liquor for a mixed drink. Drinking it straight? Get a better bottle.
It does not mean anything. For God's sake: get a life.
Derwin decided to try and make it work with Janay for the sake of the baby. However, in the end, he just could not get over Melanie so it didnt last long.
You properly heat up sake by first pouring it in to a ceramic sake bottle, and then placing the ceramic bottle in to a pot of almost boiling water, until the sake in the ceramic bottle is approximately 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, pour in to small cups and serve.
Sake can be served both gently warmed or chilled. It really depends on the type. If you have an elegant Daiginjo, warming may erase any subtle aromas and complexities. However, a hearty junmai may open up with warming. Find out more about Sake at All About Daru, they have a dedicated blog over Sake called- Lose yourself in Sake Mystique.
Last I checked they only had the sake it up theme by Gomez.
No. You can say "for the sake of myself" or "for my sake." "For my sake" sounds much better.
for goodness sake there is no answer
