Sounds like I should definitely not save it for the bonus, and need to get a replacement... but maybe I will give it a try soon so it is not wasted. I brought it to room temperature but I haven't chilled it yet.</p> <p>BTW I have been meaning to call the wine store but I haven't yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2229959 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:45:26 +0000 ballerinabee 2229959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a google nut, so here's what I found:<br /> <a href="http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/981681" rel="nofollow">http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/981681</a></p> <p>And</p> <p><a href="http://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&#038;t=85187" rel="nofollow">http://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&#038;t=85187</a></p> <p>Basically, the advice is to slow cool it (room temp first, then chill) and drink immediately. Heat accelerates the aging process, so the wine isn't good for long-term storage (i.e. until the first bonus), so chill it and try it and let us know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2229236 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:55:01 +0000 Pirouette 2229236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So im not a champagne drinker, but we found a super old bottle of champagne at my grandparents house a few years ago in a Florida apartment that had had mold issues from a time when the ac was off for a long time. DH tasted the champagne and tossed it but he said it wasnt terrible, it was basically just flat. So...who knows? I'd probably get another bottle for the occasion but try that bottle out together anyway :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2229084 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 14:58:14 +0000 pui 2229084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably try and still drink it. lol.</p> <p>For the toast though I would get a new bottle or something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2229016 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 14:12:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2229016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd keep it and show him so he knows you tried! But def drink something else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228945 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:13:08 +0000 jape14 2228945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My local wine store has a sign by the register warning about the "perils" of leaving wine in a hot car, so I'd definitely get a replacement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228928 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:04:09 +0000 NeekieRose 2228928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @mrsrain. Or if you are less of a wino, @youboots' suggestion sounds good. Ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228914 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:57:40 +0000 mrsrain 2228914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally open it and drink it on my own, but I kind of LOVE champagne. Oh, and buy a new bottle to put away for the aforementioned occasion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228906 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:55:16 +0000 daniellemybelle 2228906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Good plan. That would make me feel better about wasting it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228824 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:03:03 +0000 youboots 2228824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I'd ask the place where you bought it. You could buy a replacement bottle and use it for this gesture and then just open the boiled bottle at a party or something where there will be other wine and try it in secret.... If it's good share- if not toss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228817 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:00:51 +0000 Mae 2228817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd toss and replace. I bet its skunky and nasty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228786 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:48:05 +0000 daniellemybelle 2228786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: @Mrs Green Grass: Here's the thing. If we try it and it's terrible, even if I get a back-up bottle, it kind of ruins the whole gesture in my opinion. I already gave him this bottle when he first got the job and made this whole speech about how we will save it for his first bonus. So if it is very likely to be just horrible, I might as well just get a replacement bottle and preserve the gesture. If it's just going to be, like, not quite as good but drinkable, then I think I'll get away with it. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228783 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:45:18 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2228783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not gonna kill you to try it and you'll know in one sip. I'd buy a back up less nice bottle just in case. Worst case it becomes a funny story... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228776 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:41:03 +0000 CakeLady 2228776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd keep it, but get a backup, maybe less expensive bottle, in case it is terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228770 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:36:25 +0000 daniellemybelle 2228770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: Good idea! Yes - it was a wine store. I will call them!</p> <p>I feel like you always have the obvious answer for me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228766 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:34:27 +0000 kjpugs 2228766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: can you call where you got it? I assume it was liquor type store like 21st Amendment or Total Wine, etc? I would trust their opinion on whether or not it would be ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228760 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:28:20 +0000 daniellemybelle 2228760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha - "toast with apple juice" has a good amount of votes! :)</p> <p>@MrsSCB: It would be more like 5-6 months. I really don't want to tell DH if I don't have to. It kind of ruins it. So, I would just replace the bottle for when he gets his bonus.</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: If I replace it I'll get the same bottle. Don't want to take away from the gesture/gift because I left the bottle in the car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228712 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:53:20 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2228712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't try it... I'm actually surprised the cork didn't pop already from being in the heat. I would tell him what happened and get a cheaper bottle to toast with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228708 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:48:48 +0000 MrsSCB 2228708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would at least try it! If it's not too late for this, I'd probably let it come to room temperature in the house and then put in the fridge to gradually cool it. But I definitely wouldn't toss without opening and trying. I would consider consuming now rather than waiting a year, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-drinkers-another-wwyd#post-2228699 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:43:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 2228699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in the middle of a move and my life is kind of a mess. Thus, why I just discovered a nice bottle of champagne under the seat of my car. :( It has been in there for close to a week and it has been scorching out. My car has been sitting in my parents' driveway and it is black on black. So, the champagne has basically boiled.</p> <p>I bought this bottle for my DH to celebrate his new job. I actually got two - one to toast the new job (already drank it) and this one to save to toast his first bonus we are anticipating later this year. (It was kind of a "Go get 'em/I believe in you" gesture.) So... Should I toss this (fairly expensive) bottle and replace it? Or should we just keep it since it will mostly be a ceremonial toast anyway? </p>
