As others have posted, it depends on whether they were laid down or upright along with temperature (wine/champagne likes a constant temperature not fluctuating)

Ask some friends round, pop the corks and taste 🥂🍾 enjoy (hopefully)

Have the bottles been laid flat?

If so there is a chance they may be OK.

If they have been stored upright, they won’t be drinkable.

Lathwaites amongst others recommend 3-5years for non vintage, and up to 10 for vintage. That’s a broad answer, their website has more details.

It doesn't keep forever. My Dad used to buy old bottles from a vintner on the off chance that some of them might still be drinkable.

Hi ladies
I have been clearing out the cupboards and have discovered several bottles of champagne. There is no drink by date and I wanted to ask if anyone knows how long it can be kept for?
Many thanks
