I really fancy a drink tonight but have no wine in the house apart from a bottle or moet given as a wedding present 2 years ago, do you think I should open it because I can't be bothered to go to the shop incase it goes off?

Just opened it and the cork was a bit shrivlled i.e. it wasn't as chubby as champagne corks usually are, tried it and it tastes fine though... does off champagne make you ill?!

Well a whole bottle to yourself definitely does! Share it round then :)

It is very dangerous and yes, you will explode if you drink it. Please abandon it and I will be over to pick it up.

It's for your own good. Wink

Now there's a Dragons' Den idea - MN with options to share booze down the cyberwaves Wink

Punk you are truly kind and altruistic, only looking out for others.

Nice try - and certainly drink it if you want to, sneaky champagne always tastes better!

But as someone who drank a bottle of Moet and Chandon from her chistening at her wedding, it doesn't go off..... (and no I wasn't a child bride!! 30 years had elapsed!)

(And for those of you who couldn't fathom how there was champagne left after a christening - I was a christmas baby and everyone was mortally hungover so couldn't face it!)

"She keeps Moet et Chandon...."

Keeps? Keeps? stupid girl......

it depends. is it at an acceptably chilled temperature? if so, YANBU, they have a shorter shelf life than DD's babybels Grin

i'm off to persuade DH to open our wedding champers.
