Where is the @%*#! expiration date?!

Does anyone know how long an unopened bottle of Welch's Sparkling Red Grape Juice Cocktail will keep? You know...that festive drink we wusses purchase because we have a spouse who doesn't consume alcohol and we're afraid to try and consume an entire bottle of champagne on our own? It's been in the back of my fridge for a long long long time. Let's put it this way...I think it's from 1998 and there is no website listed for Welch's anywhere on the label. Versus the pretty new two-pack of Welch's that Santa brought me...the label says copyright 2005 and there IS www.welchs.com, clear as day, printed on there. Hmm.


The logo remains the same, but I do like the pretty new Currier & Ives'esqe design better. Should I drink it? Maybe it has fermented into real champagne by now.
If I post anything weird later today...blame the Welch's.

Hmmmmm...... Well, I'll go out on a limb and say that if there isn't a expiration date, AND it looks/smells o.k. that it is fine. But, I'm the one who won't drink the milk if it's past the exp date no matter how good it looks/smells (Yeah, Yeah, I know, it's the date it has to be sold by, but still.........LOL)

I don't know... I think if I had new ones, I'd toss the old one and drink the new ones. Just my opinion. ;)

I think it goes sour after a much shorter time than your antique bottle....... keep it for a science project for your little one at school:):):)
