Popped elderberry wine
Just took a l ook at the wine bottles in the garage and 2 had blown their tops it was the elderberry from 2008, so I brought it indoors to recork and thought better taste it no point in recorking vinegar and ...its bloomin lovely tastes like port, so do I recork it or drink it ? will it be OK do you think? not sure how long the corks have been out!

Drink it. I love elderberry wine... Haven't found any (elderberries, that is) around here yet! But I've got raisin wine coming up - with a bit of luck that should taste port-ish, too.

Re: Popped elderberry wine
Drink it... if the cork's been out for an undetermined length of time the wine will be starting to oxidise and will therefore go off soon, if you re-cork it you may end up with something like window cleaner by the time you next open it!
