Patient's question:
Doctor, there is a ginseng and goji berry wine in my home that has been soaked for 30 years. Could you please tell me if it's still drinkable? Will it be harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
How the packaging and storage are handled, the storage temperature, and the potential for bacterial growth are all issues. These factors can all lead to the wine spoiling. It is recommended to shake the bottle and observe if there are any granular or suspended substances. Check whether the bottle mouth seal is intact and whether there is any looseness. If any of these issues are present, it is advised not to drink it. If you must, only consume a small amount. If you really can't bear to throw it away, try taking a small sip first to see if you feel any discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea. If you do, drink less and avoid consuming too much in one sitting.
