Question
I currently have a couple of old bottles found after moving  I'm wondering if they are still consumable and if there is a value on these... 1 MOSELBLUEMCHEN (BEAMEISTER)
produced by DIEDERT, WEINGUT,WEINKELLEREI,  ???    10% by volume table wine...also 1 bottle of MATEUS ROSE which seems to be PORTUGESE , 750 ml ( sogrape ) ?? shipped by
PORTUGAL SARL .      


                         THANK YOU for being an expert in  something I know nothing about ..other than everyday    $10.00 bottles of local wines.

Answer
Hi Dennis:

These were light, fruity, fun wines when they were made, and were intended to be drunk back then.  By now the fruit is faded, and they are probably quite old and tired.  They won't hurt you, but they probably won't taste very good, either.

Sorry to be the bearer of sad news.  When these wines were made, they probably sold for less than $10 a bottle!
