Can you drink red wine more than 6 years old?

Archaeologists have found, very rarely, ancient Roman red wine intact in sealed clay barrels. When opened and tasted, the 1,000+ year old wine tastes good as new. In fact, the few lucky archaeologistswho got to taste the ancient red wine said it was the best they have ever tasted.

Most red wines improve in taste the older they get. However, white wines may become stale and tasteless.

A well-aged redBordeaux wine will sell for hundreds or even thousands. While an aged white wine would normally be tipped down the sink.

There is only one way to find out - pop the cork, let the air into the wine and try it.
