I'm not a drinker, however I have an unopened 0.7L bottle of Burgvogt 'Reiner-Korn' (32% vol) that I brought back from Kleve, Germany in 1984.

I'm wondering two thigs........(1) is it still okay to drink or should I poor it down the toilet? (2) would it be more or less than the original 32% vol?


ETA: The liqor is perfectly clear & there is no sediment whatsoever.

Why not try it and see? it won't be deadly poisonous or anything, at worst it will just taste awful!

Should still be 32%...

Careful though, alcohol is a gateway drug.

It'll be largely unchanged, I'd guess; practically nothing will grow in spirits to send it 'bad', and it won't have fermented after being distilled. It may have lost a bit of flavour, I suppose, but if you've never opened it? Of course, if it was only good for cleaning windows then, that's all it'll be good for now; it won't have 'aged' as fine wines do...

I'd just get someone to try it.

Thanks for the response, it's very much appreciated......having read the other comments I was beginning to wonder if PH had been completely taken over by idiots smack heads.

Not yet, there are still some people on here with rational views on the use of recreational drugs.

Please don't push this alcohol onto some other unsuspecting people, before they know what's happened they'll be going to pubs and addicted to the stuff.

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!
Will you please stop following me around PH, bleeding all over my posts.
