How long can you take the wine, port and Bristol Cream?
A friend of mine keeps all this in your kitchen cupboard. Not sure if it still the cost goes well or perish. Any advice?
The port can be for a while, I was in 1995 in my kitchen and if you decide to take it prolly fall on my butt keep better with age! Normally I just want to keep it in a dark, cool place and out of light … It will keep for several years until is too hot in the closet …
