How to tell if your wine has gone bad

1. When wine has been exposed to too much air it can develop a similar taste to vinegar.
2. If spoiled, wine can smell like the cork that was in the bottle – like cardboard or wet dog.
3. Wine that has gone bad can smell like nail polish remover or rotten eggs.

But never fret - imperfect wine is good for cooking or even for cocktails, if it’s mixed in with lots of different flavours or spirits!
