So I take issue with the old not tasty comment. My wife and I have a pretty big collection of wine. We drink wine everyday with dinner mostly. For the older bottles right now looking I have some things - 72,76,78,82,85,93,94 - and more stuff in the 1999-2003 range. For all of those older wines the amount of time it is open before you drink is a huge key of how much taste you get. For the stuff from the 70s-80s I would open it 8 hours before drinking. The issue I find is most people thing 2 hours is enough, which it is not.
- onion2k 9y agoInteresting. Does that mean if you want to drink a vintage wine at a restaurant you should call ahead and let them know you'll be ordering it so they can prepare it properly? I've never been in a position to do that, but you never know...
- borkt 9y agoYes that is something that definitely happens.
- barrkel 9y agoI take my cue for less than tasty from the 1890s (Madeira) to 1950s (vintage port), FWIW.
