ive been given a small bottle of champagne daniel perrot it about 20 years old is it safe to drink (novice in the stuff) 37.5 proof
the seal is intact

[Calibax]

Yes, should be fine to drink

[Buenchico]

The worst that can happen is that you open it and find that it's flat or, alternatively, it's so damned fizzy that it all ends up on the ceiling. Otherwise it should be fine to drink. Give it a go!

thank guys,

[mikey4444]

Give it a go Ivor !

I don't think you mean 37.5 proof - that's the same as most spirits - rather 37.5 cl, a half bottle. Otherwise you'll be totally sozzled :-)

[Buenchico]

^^^ You need to divide 'proof' figures by two to get % ABV, Prudie, but even then the figure seems to be rather high, as Champagne is typically around 12.5% to 13.5% ABV.

I suspect that it's actually a half bottle, containing 37.5cl.

lol ,well i did say i was a novice, it doesn't have the alcohol content on the bottle,

[ivor4781]

Don`t be surprised if it tastes musty. Champagne doesn`t keep much beyond 3 years.

Aye go for it you pass this way once lol

I'd love a bottle of champagne, I celebrated a good old birthday during the year and the one thing I missed was a bottle of bubbly - I'm going to buy a bottle for the new year
