I have had two bottles of unopened white wine in the fridge since June. They are the last of the leftovers from my wedding. Will they be ok to serve or do I need to just buy a couple of new bottles for this weekend?
Thanks!

thanks rich...what about if I have not left them on their side? I didn't even think about that.

As long as you keep the bottles on their side so the corks stay moist they will probably outlast your fridge.

You should never store wine in the fridge. After a couple of days the extreme cold destroys the flavor. It won't be dangerous to drink, it just won't taste very good. Live it up- buy some new bottles.

Even if you don't keep the bottle on their side, synthetic corks last a while without moisture. Taste test, just to be sure. We had one bottle for about five months, shoved in the back of the fridge. Enjoy!!!

It mostly depends on the cork and the kind of white wine. I had a wine lasted 6 months still good.

Since June? I would toss them and buy some fresh.

They should be fine. Had they been there 6 years you might be concerned. phmt or whomever, doesn't know her wine. People store wine for decades and it is fine, often prized.
