Question for the group.

On a business trip to Germany circa mid 2000s I was gifted a bottle of Arthur Melsheimer Riesling-Sekt Favorit by a colleauge who was a relation and also named Melsheimer. He said it was the German equivalent of champagne. Almost lost it at the airport because I'd just tucked it into my briefcase.

Squeeze doesn't drink and I mostly drink beer with the occasional shot when offered so the bottle got stuffed above a cabinet for a "special occasion". It's been close to 20 years now I would think, a season finale and best time of 12.7 is going to have to suffice.

Is this bottle worth uncorking? Or is it something that should have been opened ages ago?

Cork or plastic top? Not that is would make a huge difference. Can you see liquid in the bottle? Hold it up to a light and look for any sediment. Even if it’s clear, it’s likely turned.


You can store the stuff for several years but, it should be horizontal, in the dark and temperature less than 18C.

You can always open it and if there is no “pop!” Then you know it’s done.
 
Whites don’t like to sit around like reds . If it’s been stored vertically it’s probably lost , hold it up to a strong light . If it’s dark yellow it’s probably done . But I’d uncork it after chilling well and see what you get .
