Red wine, or white for that matter, will slowly oxidise and turn to vinegar when left uncorked. This will take a few days, depending on the temperature and the nature of the wine. Drinking the wine after this will probably not be harmful to you, but it will be distateful. You can use it cooking for longer. the best thing to do is to recork the wine and refrigerate it until you want to drink it within hte next day or two.
Like most wines, opened champagne will go flat and lose its wine characteristics as soon as 24 hours. Even recorking or removing the oxygen from the top of the bottle will only preserve the champagne for an extra 1-2 days. It is best to drink your bubbly at one sitting, or expect to use it in some cocktail mixers.
Chardonnay is good for about 7 years unopened.
Unopened bucks fizz, which is a cocktail made from orange juice and champagne, can last for about 1-2 years if stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The high alcohol content in the champagne helps preserve the drink and extend its shelf life. It is important to check the expiration date on the bottle and ensure proper storage conditions to maintain the quality of the bucks fizz.
It might not actually make you ill. However, it probably won't taste very good. I personally wouldn't drink it.
Oh yes, after about 3 years.
I have one from 1965 and wondering the same
I have a bottle of Cointreau that was first opened 16 years ago and it still tastes fine!
2 years
Yes, hard liquor lasts for a really long time unopened.
Cheap wines are made and sold to be drunk immediately. They will not improve with age. You could keep a bottle of cheap red or white in a drinkable condition for about three years, but it won't be as good as the day you bought it.
An unopened bottle of Moët & Chandon champagne can typically be stored for 3 to 5 years in optimal conditions, such as a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it’s best consumed within 3 to 5 days for the best taste, although you can use a champagne stopper to help preserve its bubbles for a short time. Always check for any signs of spoilage before consumption.
There isn't any specific shelf-life for champagne...it varies due to the ingredients and makers. Champagne keeps for a few years as long as it is stored in a cool, dark, dry environment. Example: A bottle that has been on your shelf for 2 years will still be good for consumption. A bottle that has been in your closet for 8 years should be used only for cruise-liner christenings!
