    I found vodka in the attic, probably from my parents' wedding more than 20 years ago ... I don't know why, but the bottles are not full (a bit below the neck) ... I wasn't sure if it was really vodka, so I opened one and noticed that that they are sealed ... (there are no bands, but the corks are tin, like in these orangeades in glass bottles ...) Could it have broken? Is it fit for consumption?

    Break it down. Worse than some chemistry from the cap contaminated it. And the loss is the loss of the spirit that escaped.

    I have been keeping 0.5L of Faust vodka for three years (not opened, with excise duty) and I hope it won't break down either.

    Somewhere I have skitraned rectified spirit from Pewex (for USD vouchers).
    When I find it, I will check the blood alcohol and the loss.

    Personally, relatively recently I had the opportunity to try another sparkling wine (colloquially known as champagne) from ... I think 1997 ;)

    It was probably a year or two ago, so quite an interesting case :)
    Let me say this - poetry. He gained a lot of taste and a bit of%. There was even a little gas left; p


    Drink the vodka and judge for yourself;]

    All champagne is sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wine is champagne. It's just to be exact :)

    You laugh, but I know a case where a guest in communism bought vodka somewhere for his son's wedding, only then his son was about 15 years old and when he got married he was much over 20. So that vodka wouldn't tempt me, he would wall up behind the wall in the basement, everything would be ok but nobody He thought that there is such a piece of paper in the cork and that this piece of paper was moldy and the vodka was soaked with mold that there was an immediate gag reflex ... Therefore, the conclusion vodka is not wine, we eat immediately after purchase ...

    Maybe we'll come to you and check the quality of this find? If it turns out to be broken, we will try to fix it. After all, it is a forum of professionals from many fields of the world of science and technology. ;)

    I remembered when I was 16 and at my friend in the basement we discovered a few bars of dusty Smirnoff bottles ... Of course, after a little over a year, not much of this set was left ... A few years later my friend got married and his dad said to him: "You know, I have in the basement something has already been put aside for your wedding " :D

    The vodka was also a good few years old when we found it, it was great :)

    I don't remember that vodka was ever capped like beer. 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). In the 1960s, liter bottles were liquidated (as part of the action "Fight with drunkenness" and the so-called SFOS.). flachs, a citizen of the People's Republic of Poland, paid an extra PLN for the Social Fund for the Reconstruction of the Capital. thick aluminum foil and it had a tab to facilitate opening, which, of course, did not make anything easier. Russian Stolichnaja is so capped. Water-proof caps are from the 1970s to this day. ing. ATTENTION! not everything that looks, smells or even tastes like vodka is vodka! It is disturbing that you think this is wedding vodka. I have been to many weddings and from under many feathers ... - anyway - and it happened that there was no vodka, but never to be left! Try it better on someone you don't like. :D

    You're exaggerating. I drank the last bottle of my wedding vodka over a year after the wedding. :D

    I have 2 bottles of wine manufactured in 1990 in my cellar !! Grandpa was still doing ;) Someone older, of course, of their own production;] Soon I will be cleaning up there because the house is being renovated, so I think I will pick something up.

    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 ... :D It's a pity to open.

    The great wine connoisseur, Henryk Maria Fukier, used to say that "the older the wine, the better, but ... old age has its limit". 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. A few bottles are left, but there are too many left. When in 2004 I opened the mossy flask met me with great disappointment ... 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. Unfortunately. Vino morte sua mori ...

    I do not know about the spoilage of unopened vodka, but once a glass of vodka was left in the room after the melange and after 4 months there were spots of mold in it (select vodka)

    For some time now I like pure gastric bitter ... I liked it ... yesterday, as usual, I bought one in Carrefour on Głębocka (my patron's day, there was an occasion to celebrate), it probably broke in the factory, burning sour, slightly smells of raw distillery spirit (my brother-in-law fixes ovens in distilleries and sometimes a little raw authenticity takes care of it, hence I know the taste), I do not like vodka's unstable taste, this is probably the end of an initially good product.

    Damn I thought it was only me who had this feeling, but not only me :) This clean one (you probably mean de luxa) used to be good and everyone knows how to buy it, and now such a shit ... smoking that it is impossible to drink even when cold.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the longevity and safety of consuming vodka found in an attic, potentially over 20 years old. Users share personal experiences with aged vodka, noting that it generally does not spoil if sealed properly, although some caution against possible contamination from corks or other materials. Several participants mention specific brands and their own experiences with vodka stored for years, suggesting that the quality may improve over time. However, there are warnings about counterfeit products and the importance of ensuring the vodka is genuine. The consensus leans towards the idea that vodka, if unopened and stored correctly, remains safe for consumption.
