Sommelier Reacts To 100 Year Old Wine

Vinegar

[@fredrik2433]

​@sheagiesler usually no. It sometimes have the most distinct notes at the start, tart, some sweet and acid, hints of the florals etc. But it quickly dies out and tastes of muddy water.

Man I hate these youtube-yappers. They dont have a clue about anything but feel they should speak on everything.

[@awKtn32-_-]

What about anything that she said is wrong? Most wines that old have some evaporation and aeration inside the bottle which essentially turns it into tar and if not it will taste absolutely nothing like wine….

[@awKtn32-_-]

And do you even know what a sommelier is? They most certainly know what they are talking about when it comes to wine. The test to become a master sommelier is considered one of the world’s most challenging tests….

[@anthonyjones7264]

Depends on the wine and the factors inside of it. If it has the right stuff and stored right. You can still drink past 1700 years. There is a bottle that's that old and they believe it's still good. Meaning you could literally drink it and be fine.

[@ShinM.]

That doesn't make it "good." It just means it won't kill you. You can eat literal grass and rocks, doesn't mean you should.

You said they “believe it’s still good” and still so confidently said you can drink it and be fine. 😂 do you understand what the word “believe” implies?

[@sutty85]

You can drinks Wine hundreds of years old. Europeans understand this

[@Rosskles]

Fortified wines yes. Not just any wine.

[@jacob9540]

Uhh maybe fortified wines like Port and Madeira because the higher alcohol content helps them last, but even then, finding a 100+ year old bottle of Port is extremely rare and not a common occurrence. Regular wine like Bordeaux on the other hand absolutely cannot last 100+ years on its own, maybe under perfect conditions and even then the wine would have lost all of its fruit. Top ageable wines like Bordeaux, Burgundy, Barolo, etc. is typically consumed between 5-30 years old

[@AntoninoParino]

No, we Europeans understand that old wine is for rich people to waste their money on because even a wine for aging in perfect conditions become a musty-tannic slop which is safe to consume but very unpleasant and the only reason you would keep wine that long is to sell it to people trying to show off. Like other people said, fortified wines can last longer, especially the very sweet and highly fortified versions like certain vintages designed to cross vast oceans by sail but even then if the temperature fluctuated out of optimum too often or it got hot at any point in its life it would be ruined. Most wine, even the stuff that stands aging, really is generally at its best between 3-7 years with some like Barolo being 5-10

[@jacob9540]

Fortified wines like Port and Madeira can last for a long time like 100+ years but DEFINITELY not 500 years lmao. And that’s for fortified wines with high alcohol contents from mixing spirit into the wine. A regular fermented wine like Bordeaux cannot last nearly as long. Although Bordeaux can age really well, most bottles of top Bordeaux reach their peak in about 15-25 years of age and start go degrade from oxidation when they reach 50+ years old. The wine in this video is Chateau Haut-Brion, a first growth Bordeaux which is only 1 of 5 first growths among the thousands in Bordeaux. It’s a world class elite wine that often sells for $1,000+ yet it no doubt was oxidized after 100 years. If it survived it wasn’t very good that’s for sure.

Unless a bottle is estate bottled there’s a very good chance it won’t keep for aging past a maximum point. The storage and bottling needs to be done with the intention of aging and not all wine is made an bottled equally

No, wines cannot last nearly this long lol. Ports and Madeira can last up to 100 years bc they’re fortified with spirits to make them closer to a liquor than a wine. But regular wines like the Haut-Brion in the video can age 20-40 years tops before they start to degrade. 500+ years is just flat out wrong, no wines can last that long.

[@jacob9540]

No definitely not. Fortified wines like Port and Madeira can last 200 years TOPS. That’s because those wines have high alcohol content that makes them closer to a liquor than wine, and that helps them last a long time. A regular wine at 10-15% alcohol like the Chateau Haut-Brion in the video most definitely cannot last 200 years. I’d even doubt that after 100 years it was still good. Great Bordeaux can age, yes, but typically reaches its peak in 10-30 years and starts to slowly degrade after that.

Technically it may be “safe” but a 1500 year old bottle of wine would be extremely rare to find in decent condition and even then it would have no resemblance to wine at all anymore and taste like shit. That is if it’s not tar by that point.

My god why does everyone on this comment section believe this. No, wines cannot last *anywhere* near 1500 years lmao. Wines that can endure aging like red Bordeaux can last *maybe* 60-80 years under great conditions before they spoil, and they really are best drunk at 10-30 years of age. 1500 years is just laughably incorrect.

They had glass 1000 years ago this video is a Chinese novelty thing. The company that makes them started in 2013

[@jacob9540]

Where is everyone getting this egregiously incorrect 1500 years factoid from? Wine cannot last *anywhere* near 1500 years. The oldest consumable wines are fortified wines like Port and Madeira that are made by mixing spirits into normal wine, and even those can last only 150-200 years tops. A regular fermented red wine cannot age for more than maybe 80 years, and that’s assuming it is a top quality ageable wine like Bordeaux. And even then, it would be best around the 10-30 year old window.

[@awKtn32-_-]

@@jacob9540I’m wondering the same thing. It’s shocking how confidently misinformed so many in this thread are. Especially by how easy it is to research this topic. To think the methods they used to seal wine with that long ago would preserve it for 1000+ years is ignorant. Even the most modern methods and technology for sealing is extremely unlikely to preserve a wine for 1000’s of years.

Digging near the water by the San Francisco Bay, they found a 150 year old ship with cases of champagne. They tested a bottle, excellent! All the high brows had a party and served the champagne, all salt bilge water. The test bottle was the only one that was any good. My brother in law had some wine going out of date, I forget, a Mouton Rothschild white wine, and this was late '80s, early '90s. It was impeccable. The reds were heavy with beeswing. (Sherlock Holmes reference, I believe referring to the sediment, from "The Copper Beeches.")
