First time I hear people cook chook with icewine...maybe not a bad idea actually...
Normally we drink icewine with desserts and it doesn't have bubbles.

2 years is okay as long as you have been keeping it in the right place...

A top ice wine can be kept for anything up to about 100 years. Average ice wine will be fine for at least 10 years.

As mentioned above it is due to the high sugar levels and also high acidity the wine will keep for a long period of time. You could also leave a bottle open and come back to it a couple of days latter and it should still be fine.

There are various problems wine can have the most common being 'corked'. This occures when a bacteria present in some cork comes in to contact with the wine and changes the flavour, it will smell musty and taste fury or sour.

Wine that has been aged too long or has been left open and in contact with the air will turn to vinegar and is a usefull cooking aid but shouldn't make you ill.

Wine is so complicated, beer is much easier to deal with! I have a bottle of red wine Jenny Lou's gave me for free a year ago, I have not opened it, just kept in my fridge all of this time, is the fridge a good place to have kept it or should I have put it somewhere else?

And don't say up my ass Otto, hero, wave!

You see, with most people I'd laugh at that.

With you, I don't even know if you're joking.

With F&B, if the date's in doubt... leave it out.

She may have had a bottle or two of wine before posting that one, I even had to read it twice to be sure she was really saying that.

I mean doesn't everyone microwave their wine before drinking it?

Anyone wanting to share a bottle of non-Chinese wine around?? Me like wine a lot

what wine do you like?

As it is still hot, a bottle of sparkling is perfect, I figure...

re the microwave,

Once I put the bottle into the fridge and the next time I get it out, it will be freezing cold...I can't just leave it out for 3 hours and wait until it is room temperature...so I microwave it for 15 seconds and then it will be nice and warm to drink...and it only takes 15 seconds!

That's just the way I do things...so ye, you are all professional...what?! you pull a bottle of red out of your fridge and add ice in it and drink it like coke, don't you? Ye, I figure that will be the case you all drink your wine.

Just do not give your personal details the site/office/data base is corrupted and insecure. That is unless you are comfortable with the resident trolls publishing them on the site. Hang on, one of the mods did that already! So it must be OK!

MB: Any wine from New Zealand or Australia will be fine

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

Hey!! what will be my suprise??

What's my surprise? I am very cool as well.

I should headbutt the wall....that's the price I have to pay for not using PMs....
