I am not a wine drinker so my questions may be silly.

I got two bottle of wine long time ago.  The red wine was received in 2001 and the white wine was received in 2005.  They have been kept in my basement since then.  Never been opened.

I brought home, I replied under $300 for over 7 days, she let me
go without further question, and my lugguage was already in the lobby.
