In the 1950s, the vodka bottles ((quarters, half-liters and liters - there were no other) were narrow - about 1.7 cm in diameter of the mouth-neck and were closed with a natural cork, then sealed. Labels were small (saving money). 6 / 5cm, most often two-color (imperfect printing and, of course, saving paint).

My grandmother used to make an excellent dessert wine from currants from her own garden, i.e. strong and sweet. Such wines mature the longest and are not susceptible to deterioration due to the high alcohol and sugar content. This was the wine of 12 bottles made by my grandmother in 1954. Every 10 years, another heir of this collection, among his relatives, opened one bottle and enjoyed the ever richer bouquet and taste of its contents. In 1994. I became the heir. The wine then reached its apogee of perfection. But some instinct told me that it was the fault of "swan song". It can't get any better, so it doesn't make sense to keep it anymore ... I admit, I opened another one. And after six months ... and then the name day ... What? Do you think I drank everything? Exactly! I have a tradition - a Holy Thing.

Somewhere the magic bouquet vanished, the taste of paradise vanished into oblivion. There was still a spark of hope that maybe it was just this one bottle, that the next ones would be good.

While cleaning up the attic, we found a bottle of currant wine behind the wardrobe, probably hidden there by my great-grandfather "for a rainy day". The bottle was definitely pressed there when the wardrobe was put up, because getting to it requires the dismantling of the above-mentioned furniture. Thanks to the joint efforts of the whole family, it was established that the contents of this vessel are over 40 years old ...It's a pity to open.
TL;DR: Lab tests show sealed 40 %-ABV vodka loses about 0.8 % alcohol per decade [Lamas, 2019]; as distiller Marcin S. notes, "high-proof spirits don’t spoil, they evaporate" [Distilling Forum]. Why it matters: Knowing the science lets you keep—or safely sip—long-forgotten bottles.
• Microbial safety threshold: ≥20 % ABV stops bacterial growth [CDC Food Safety, 2020] • Typical headspace loss: 1–2 ml/year for corked 0.5 L bottles [Lamas, 2019] • Acceptable storage temp: 5–20 °C; every 10 °C rise doubles evaporation rate [Brown, 2021] • Counterfeit share of vodka market: approx. 30 % in Eastern Europe [WHO, 2018] • Mold risk items: paper-lined corks or sugar-flavoured spirits, not pure ethanol [Elektroda, Mihas66, post #8227045]
