10 year old champagne - ok to drink?

[Falcon1]

Got given a bottle of Veuve Clicquot for our wedding. It's now our 10 year wedding anniversary and we thought we'd finally open it. Suddenly had a thought that it might have gone off!

Will it still be nice or have we wasted a perfectly good present?

Might be fine, might have reduced fizz. I've experienced both with sparking wine left for a while

Late to the party so you've probably already had it now, but VC champagne should be drinkable after 10 years.

Thanks, we opened a different bottle, but good to know we don't need to chuck it!

I doubt it's particularly nice any more, but worth a try. When I saw the heading I thought you meant you were giving your 10 year old champagne!!

Fair play to you OP for keeping a bottle of fizz for 10 years.
Wouldn't happen in my house
Congrats on your anniversary

I clicked on the thread to suggest you heavily dilute with lemonade before letting your 10 year old drink it, but I see now that I misread!

Enjoy your champagne!

For future reference you'll get approximately 3 years from a non vintage maybe 10 with a vintage.

Dilute champagne with lemonade?

A sip undiluted would be a better option.

You'll soon know if it's drinkable or not. (I'd have thought so!) Cheers!
