I was guessing it would have tasted like turpentine.

[Wiggins]

Or more like Swill.

[LegendHasIt]

Yeah, but did he get a kick from it?

Does old alcohol thrill him at all?

[Pontiac]

The wreck must have been in fairly shallow water or the sea water would have penetrated the corks.

[donhunt]

It made all his hair fall out.

[Elle Bee]

if the cork retains its integrity champagne can last longer than still wines

.

[Squantos]

Or Mad Dog 20/20 left under the seat of a car for the past 44 years ........ummmmm ummmmmmm ummmmmmmmmmmm !

[Outlaw Woman]

A picture of a true man! /heavy s along with a gag

[InternetTuffGuy]

I’d drink it.

I know what mushrooms taste like. I know what lime peels taste like. But what in Quagmire are linden blossoms?

[Jane Long]

It made all his hair fall out.

And his eyelashes extraordinarily long.

“That’s the Spirit!” ping.

Mushroomy-tasting wine sounds like it got spores in it at some point. *shudder*

The linden - basswood or lime tree - is a European deciduous cultivar, not to be confused with the tropical tree that produces lime fruit. Perhaps its flowers smell like limes.

Anyway, it sounds like the Veuve Cliquot held up better than the other bottler’s product.

I would have to pass on the Veuve-Clicquot and go for the Juglar......

[Frank Sheed]

I wouldn’t touch a wine that was not sealed with a screw on cap. Or frankly, one that costs more than $5.99 a gallon. Or one that did not contain at least 0.46% fusel oil...

;-o)

[Tax-chick]

Fusel oil? Alcohol is a disinfectant, after all, so the worst that can happen is it tastes icky.

[Frank Sheed]

Any teen will tell you that cheap wine contains fusel oil and a smidge of methanol. It is responsible for the distinctive “bouquet.” Eau de gas tank...

[Tax-chick]

Maybe that’s what Seaman Petunia is drinking. It might be good for the truck, though ... even regenerate the heater core.
