I am working my way through all the wine I made over the last seven years. I discovered an unopened bottle of German Spiced Wine. My wife and I make wine every year for friends. This bottle was from the 2013 batch. The cork looked good.
So I gently opened it. The cork should have been a two year cork. Fortunately it was a better grade cork. When I opened it the wine energetically left the bottle. It was a Purple Old Faithful. More than half of the bottle ended on the floor and all over the front of the counter.
I did get one good glass. It was quite delicious. It took me 30 minutes to clean up the kitchen.
Note to self: open old bottles of wine in the sink.
