Does Moet Champagne "go off"? I can't find a sell by, expiry, use by date!?

Answer 1

Wines and champaigne's can "go off" or become "corky" if the cork fails or becomes compromised.

Reasonably stored your champaigne will be relatively unchanged for years, decades even.

Since your bottle has no date ... it is what is referred to as NV or Non-Vintage and may actually contain wines from different years productions. These wines may be consumed immediately or stored for years ... that's up to you. It won't particularly improve or appreciate in value with age if you choose to store it..

Answer 2

Pink Moet Champagne

Answer 3

Well, most of the answers given are correct. I would like to say that all wines be white, red, rose or white & pink champagne do not go off but can go off if not stored properly in the right place and the right temperature and in the right manner. The cork does play an important part in storing the wine as some of them have rightly said that the cork needs to be moist....the wine needs to be in constant touch with the cork. Another most important thing which others might not know is that there shouldn't be air in the bottle. If the bottle is exposed to open air or the cork in not put back then the wine starts deteriorating in its original taste and flavour. If in case the cork is broken or lost then the bottle should be closed with a rubber stopper and every day this stopper should be serviced with a air suction puller...so that any air that has entered in the bottle gets pulled out by the suction puller. Air might have impurities and this can cause the wine to go bad or off. So, this is another reason why one needs to take good care of wines. Hence, you don't see any sell by, expiry or use by date on any wine bottle as it is in our hands to keep the wine good all the time. Well, I hope you are satisfied with this answer.

Answer 4

Moët & Chandon 'Brut Impérial' is (as advised above) a non-vintage cuvée of Champagne. Whilst it does not have a sell-by date and will not 'go-off' due to the level of alcohol in the liquid, it is designed to be drunk within three to five years of bottling. Please find further details below which I offered to someone who recently asked a similar question about Champagne storage:

REF: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap31TXQurH_I85v2heXq0EUgBgx.?qid=20070102095649AAARyJM&show=7#profile-info-6becdc1897f74782c860ead28fba2763aa

"Wine is very sensitive to sudden changes in temperature. Your best bet to keep the wine in top condition is to remove it from the fridge and move it to the coldest room in your house (on ground floor or basement but not in the kitchen) or, as you suggested, the garage. While the ambient temperature in the garage is unlikely to remain constant, you can at least ensure that it does not vary greatly.

For insulation, wrap the bottle in bubblewrap, a blanket or a piece of old carpet, this will not warm the wine as the insulation will prevent warmth from reaching the bottle as fast and thus further slow any temperature variation. Furthermore, the covering will prevent sunlight or artificial light from affecting your Champagne.

Contrary to popular belief, sparkling wines should be stored upright, if the cork is allowed to get too moist, the pressure in the bottle can compress it and compromise the seal."

I hope this helps you.

Answer 5

Champagne's meant to be enjoyed soon after it's released or within a few years. There are people who cellar fine Champagnes, the top makes, but the taste doesn't improve greatly by doing this. What happens after a great deal of time is that the cork starts to fail, and Champagnes start to lose their fizz. They may still be a remarkable wine, but after ten or twenty years, much of the "pop" has left the bottle.

Answer 7

Champagne doesn't age. The older the better, but make sure its stored at the right temperature

Answer 8

HI-, I have a bottle of moet & chandon 1977 Jubilee & we turn it every month you have to keep the cork wet so place it on its side & tillted forword to the neck of the botlle & just turn every month like i do,D.F;

Answer 9

No - like all wines it will improve with age if stored on it's side in a cool dark place. There are Champagnes that are kept for many years that retain their smooth taste and effervescence. Enjoy!
