Do you mean after it has been opened, or before opening?
An unopened bottle of Champagne will remain drinkable for a decade or more if it has been kept in good conditions. But as it matures its color darkens and the taste changes, gaining a more toasted flavor. Some people like the taste of old Champagne, many do not.
All Champagne houses say that their wine is ready to drink when they release it, and they advise against keeping it. Phooey, I say. Keep a bottle of Champagne for at least 6 months and you'll notice an improvement in taste.
If Champagne has been opened, it will be drinkable the day after and retain its fizz. Keep the bottle upright in the fridge door and cover the top. There are seals for closing Champagne bottles. There is an old myth about spoons in the bottle neck, but not only is the myth misquoted, but it is just that -- a myth.
I am assuming you are asking about Champagne, or other good quality sparkling wines made by the Champagne method.

Theres one or 2 reliable solutions right here and quite a number of different deceptive ones. A corked bottle is brought about by ability of a particular chemical which looks to derive from some thing (the woody ligaments) in the cork - its said as 2-4-6 Trichloranisole and its that which impacts the style of the wine - its no longer some thing to do with air getting into, thats oxidisation which probable occurs somewhat to all wonderful wines and is perchance what causes them to 'age'. there are another rarer problems with wine which be counted somewhat better on what replaced into in the wine itself eg extra sulphur. large wines age better slowly and boost better exciting flavour and intensity. many wines - really the more cost-effective wines and many New international varieties - are meant to be lower than the impression of alcohol interior 12months of being offered. and probable interior 3 years of at the same time as they were made. What i'd do if I were you is to seek on the internet for the precise bottles you've, even though it can be of those certain years at the same time as they were made. in the adventure that they were holding wines then you absolutely'll probable locate references to them nevertheless, perchance even nevertheless on the marketplace - attempt the producer's personal web pages first (use Google). If theres no hint they are probable no longer worth holding. in certain, maximum Champagne is largely offered at the same time as waiting to drink so except its an quite wonderful classic which has been kept correct then it wont be worth eating, no longer to coach holding. What you ought to do is record on yahoo solutions the precise wines and vintages and spot what human beings make of them. If conceivable you may record the country of starting place, the wine maker, the grape type if marked and intensely importantly the 12 months plus the different class or call of the wine. If it doesnt have a 12 months of production on the bottle then it probable wont be a wine that replaced into worth holding and could probable no longer be worth eating now. Leaving aside wines that are corked or upfront oxidised a competent wine extremely frequently is going thoroughly tasteless once its over-elderly. I had a 20 12 months previous Pomerol from Bordeaux very last week which may once were most suitable and is now thoroughly absent any style. ultimately it ought to probable become vinegar. in case you dont drink a lot at domicile then dont ever save it - merely purchase a competent wine once you elect it.

If its been opened it will keep in the fridge for a couple of days as long as you put a teaspoon spoon into the neck of the bottle (handle first). I dont know why but it works with my champers!
