Safe to Drink

Hi I found 4 bottles of wine in the old air raid shelter in our garden. Can anyone tell me (a)if any of them would be of any value? and (b) would they be safe to drink. Its cold and damp in the air raid shelter and some of the labels have rotted so not easy to read but this is what i can make out on each bottle 1. Fiuza, 1996, Sauvignon, Vihno regional Ribatejo, this one has a very slight cloudy sediment. 2.1196 Chataeux de la Genaiserie, Coteaux du Layon, Yves Soulez. This has a white, gritty looking sediment. 3. Southern Cross, 1990, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay. This is clear with no sediment. 4. Tokaji, Aszu, 5 Puttonyos, 1998. This has an oily looking sediment

Hi Eryka,

They should be safe enough. There is probably nothing there of any you don't say who the producer of the Tokaji is.

The white gritty sediment is probably just tartaric acid crystals precipitated by cold, nothing to worry about, it's normal.

The Layon and Tokaji might even be decent. Be aware they are sweet wines. The other 2 are likely dead, but you never know. Try and see, you can always pour them out.
