I decided it was finally time to open the oldest bottle of red wine.
I think it is 5 years old but could be a lot more.
This old bottle had wax sealing the cork. I'm not sure where it came from. Could be from my son-in-law. The last bottle of K's red wine which we opened, after 10 years, was very drinkable.
This is not Ks wine but a bottle given to us by someone, someone close I should think, looking at that hand waxed bottle
Here goes the sommelier, dressed in his best blue overall
A nicely stained cork
And an undrinkable glass of red wine
The finest vinegar.
And that's where it went, into the big vinegar barrel
Oh shame! Did you end up drinking water instead?
ReplyDeleteYeah, right
DeleteDrat. I thought you were going to say it tasted wonderful. Never mind.
ReplyDeleteI was sure if be able to drink it, but this had tipped over the edge. Big disappointment
DeleteOh dear - what a let down.
ReplyDeleteWe should have opened it years ago, it might have been drinkabe back then
DeleteWhat a disappointment for you both. At least you can use it as vinegar :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a barrel of good homemade vinegar and this will help the flavour of that
Delete-chuckle- Sort of goes with everything else, hu? *uckin' COVID-19. And now this. >:-((((
ReplyDeleteAny idea when Greece will begin to open up?
Greece is opening up on Monday.
DeleteAnd you use the same glasses as moi!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought they were a greek classic!
DeleteThat’s disappointing
ReplyDeleteBut at least you’ll have lots of vinegar with which to pickle things
We have loads of good strong vinegar. K makes it now instead of wine!
DeleteOh well. No shortage of wine in Greece, though? Ha ha. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThe gatherings have temporarily halted but the wine still flows
DeleteI've got the same glasses, £1 each from John Lewis. Good to have some wine vinegar I suppose even like this kind of wine vinegar it can be used for something.
ReplyDeleteWe use a lot of vinegar, for pickling olives of course, but in cooking too.
ReplyDeleteMy husband frets over his vinegar barrel almost as much he did his wine.
