    Louis Roederer 1906, that would have been a nice drop to drink-----I wonder if there is any left now? If there is and if it has been stored well, I wonder what it would be like to drink now? Rather flat is my guess, but the taste?

    Would it have turned to vinegar?

    Probably. There may be a chance if the cork stayed sound and the liquid was stored in a cool and constant temperature, but you are right it would be a slim chance that it would be drinkable after 104 years. It would have been fantastic in 1918 though!

    Cute poem!

    I'll just point out, in case you plan to reuse this, a small typo in the first line. It's "scaled" not "sealed".
