anywhere online I can find if the wine is likely to have kept, what to look
for in the wine, or if it is likely to be vinegar. They've been stored
horizintally in a basement for the last 25 years, and the colour looks OK,
except one which is quite light. or is it all a gamble?"

Do the corks look intact? Best way to tell is to open them and taste. What
do you have to lose?
