Is it still safe to drink?

We still have wine from our wedding, lol. As long as it's unopened it should be fine!

Also not an expert, but it's definitely safe to drink. The only concern would be change in the taste, but since it's been kept cold, I think that will even be minimal. Enjoy!
(And I'll stop being proud of myself for a bottle surviving in my fridge for a WEEK- ha!)

The only time I worry about it is if it's been opened. But let's face it opens wine doesn't last long in my household. 😛

Wine goes through periods of time. It'd it's an inexpensive wine it's fine. Some wine goes dorment and you should continue to cellar it and wait until a set range of years to open it.

But if it's just a regular bottle you got at the packie drink away. It won't go bad - as wine ages the flavor profile can change. So if you had a certain vintage and drank a bottle fresh, then another bottle after five years and another bottle after ten years they all might have variations due to the aging process.
