Damn good stuff. But where can we buy authentic wine pre 70s
This is interesting. Only thing is, when was it counterfeited? If you can set a date, even if it is a fake, it can open new doors and may be worth a fortune in itself.
if you don't know what you're doing… don't buy expensive shit… you'll be ripped off in seconds.. and booze can be VERY EXPENSIVE.. i wouldn't have bought the bottles in my collection if I didn't KNOW they were authentic.
It's not pronounced Pet-rus.. it's a Petrus..
How will it work when the cheap wine is put into the authentic bottle?
Maureen, you know what you're doing. And that was really interesting.
Ultimate wine aunt.

I just make my own priceless wines…
