Should the world's oldest wine bottle be opened?

Well, worst comes to worst, maybe someone will have some mighty old vinegar to sell?

Aged balsamic has a whole new meaning.

I read one of the comments in the article:

"Classic British tabloid "journalism." Nothing in the article backs up the headline. No one interviewed said anything about actually considering opening the bottle."

I thought it was hilarious and, apparently, it's not just an American problem.

Yeah, I kept looking for the historians that were debating it.

would be the worlds most expensive balsamic vinegar lol

I say open it, yeah, if nothing more than curiosity and experimentation. But to drink, no way. It will be "bad" by now.

The article said it was still good.

Don't open it. Sell it to Pawn Stars.
