I have found a bottle of French red with a screw top in the larder which I bought and had a glass out of it about 2 months ago. Would it still be safe to drink?

It's nothing special, just a £8 Claret from the Offy and I'm home alone with the kids tonight so can't get out.

Classy aint I.

If you screwed it tight, you might be ok- they make quite an impressive seal.

It won't kill you, either way, at worst it just won't be very nice.

rofl Oh well. Don't put it on/in food, though- if it's bad, sling it!

Enjoy the Cobra.
