Default Concord Grape Wine 1980

I made some grape wine back in 1980 and packed it away. Now I just ran
across a few bottles that have been back in the garage since then. I'm
taking bets - what's the chance it's any good?

I'd say there are two chances; slim and none. But if your garage
stays at 55 to 65 degrees all year long, and the wine was highly
tannic and well balanced to begin with, then it might be drinkable.

Really good corks only last 20 years so... It shouldn't kill you but
if it smells bad it is bad.
