Wondering how well the Cock-n-Fire bottle has aged....

I have one also....never have tried a bottle but I've heard it's not too good. Better for the novelty value of it.

I have one to never opened it, and dont plan to

Marsellus Wallace: You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic mothers. Mothers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't.

We opened a bottle of this stuff about six months after I bought it it in 2006. Kind of tough to get down. Better served after a Carolina loss. Anything that goes straight to the noggin
.

Leave it unopened. It's some of the worst wine I've ever tasted.

Tasting Notes: Begins with much promise, a subtle introduction to its upcoming full fruit, oaky breath taking creaminess all about. The middle mouthful is award winning quality, a party of exuberant success in designing a top flight wine, only to have the aftertaste dissintergrate into a confusing mess. Do we recommend it....yes...particularly if you have never had wine to reach these heights before.

My wife and I opened one of two bottles last August. It was horrible. The second bottle will ferment till I die!

 

[Dizzy01]

It was awful. We opened ours each tried a glass and then poured it out.

 

[CockySC01]

Wine stops aging once removed from the barrel. The bottle preserves it. The that bottle is an awesome display piece for a man cave or Gamecock room. The wine inside is probably crap. (Bourbon drinker here) Women drink wine, guys drink beer, but gentlemen drink BoUrBoN.

I tried for drink a bottle, but quit halfway through.

It always needs about two or three more years.

I have a bottle of the cock n fire as well as one each of the CWS wines. I’ll not open any of them. They’re for looks and fond memories. My wife bought the baseball championship wines for me, and I bought her the clemtech football championship wines.

Would it have worked for cooking? Most $6 wines work for that.

It was too bitter. Cooking would have probably made it worse.

Man I haven't seen or thought about that wine in a long time. I used to work for the distributor (Ben Arnold Beverage) and sold a bunch of that wine every year around the holidays. If I recall correctly, we only sold it to independent accounts (non grocery store). Im pretty sure it's E&J Gallo wine in the bottle - but I don't remember for sure.

I got a can of Billy Beer, unopened. Don’t know what happened to the other 5. Probably drank them. Can’t remember if it was a good beer. Must not of been - out of business.
I also have an empty can of Schlitz and an empty can of Carling Black Label sitting on the shop shelf, gathering dust. I think both of them are out of business.

 

[AltoonaSteve]

This stuff is pure swill. Should be treated as a novelty item.

Carling Black Label is still sold in Canada. Don't see it much in the US though.

 

[cockymark]

Yes i have a couple of bottles of ray tanner wine also.

Is it any good? I can’t remember.

Been a while since I had one, but, yeah, I remember it being good.

Haha, makes sense as you'd have to pay someone to take it off your hands.

 

[heavycock]

I have a bottle of the Head Ball Coach chardonnay. I imagine that chardonnay will remain securely corked inside that bottle in aeternum 😂

 

[Stubbytwo]

I still have 2-3 bottles and they will most likely stay unopened

That is true for bourbon. That is not true for wine. Bourbon will taste the same whether you drink it the day after it is bottled or 20 years down the road. Wine mellows in the bottle and can change it's characteristics drastically.

I was holding on to it until we won an SEC Championship.
