    Unfortunately, 30-year-old champagne is no longer good to drink. In general, wine experts advise drinking vintage champagnes within 5-10 years and non-vintage champagnes within 3-4 years.

  • Question
    Can you safely chill a bottle of champagne in a snow drift. If so, how long should you leave it there?
    Community Answer
    Ice from a snow drift is probably too cold to chill champagne safely, as it's generally below freezing.
