Wine in a carton--how long is it ok?

Well, that too, LOL!

All I can say is that if I lived next door.....you wouldn't be facing the 'old wine' problem.

I've got a pretty extensive cellar and my friends don't understand why I don't just grab "any old bottle." ::::::heavy sigh::::::

I don't drink wine although I like it, allergic to sulfites. So I don't have much experience with it.

Anyway, these two wines are still in the fridge. They're in a milk type wax carton with a tightly screwed on cap. Can I still use them? I sampled them today and to my tongue they still taste pretty much the same as when I first opened them.

I'm just making sauce for chicken and mushrooms. Nothing fancy.

I bought some Franzia in the carton, and drank it within a month's time, which is not saying much for me, I don't think, lol. There should be a "best if used by" detail on the label.

That reminds me, I'm almost out of paper cups to drink my Wine-in-a Box.

Don't have much experience with wine going bad.


Doesn't last that long around here.
