elderberry wine - maybe ?

[Jude]

My husband's elderberry wine was forgotten and has been sitting in a demi john (with airlock) for the last yr.  Will it be OK to bottle or should we throw it away ?

Providing the airlock has not dried out, it should still be ok. The best way to check is to taste it ...

thanks for the advice curry, the air lock has not dried out ...it smells like elderberry wine ...just like my dad used to make... not yet tasted.    Whats the worst that could happen !!

A hangover.  :)

Yes, I believe that to give a wine adequate chance for a decent tasting, you need three sips. After the third, you definitely know if the wine is worth drinking ... if you wake up with the hangover, then you know it certainly was :D
