wine bottle

Considering this wine predates the current Monarch, it is at least 53 years old.

Google Liger-Belair and you will find much information about the family.

However, the giveaway is the fact that it is labelled "Bourgogne".

This is a very basic Burgundy, and although I see you are in Scotland and the wine *may* have been stored in a very cold and stable environment, I think I can safely say that the contents no longer resemble drinkable wine.

But what our good kiwi friend neglected to mention - you absolutely MUST open and try it; and let us know what you encounter! Given that you are in Scotland, if the wine hasn't been exposed to to much heat, it might be passable. Only one way to find out!

thanks for the info.

thanks, i dont know if the wine will be drinkable,when i moved the bottle it seemed to cloud over but when it rested it seemed to clear.

as you will probably guess i do not have very much knowledge of this subject.

thanks steve, i must admit the idea had crossed my mind.

i also have a couple of bottles of reserve pec r.perret+co from the same era.i might try ebay with these also.

thanks.

And if I may add: the only issue with its age is whether it tastes good. It won't poison you, even if it's way over the hill.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for it, but personally, I would never throw a bottle away without trying it first.

thanks again i will probably sell this bottle as it is still sealed and the label intact.
