Default RAAC Port - Royal Australian Armoured Corps Sergeants Mess

Here's something a bit unusual I recently picked up.

A still unopened bottle of port from Royal Australian Armoured Corps Sergeants Mess annual dining in night in November 1989.

You find port bottles occasionally but full unopened ones are hard to find.

Wonder if the port is still good to drink?

Very nice Mick, here is one that I found, it has my old regiment 6 Signal Regiment on it. 6 Signal Regiment ceased to exist on the 31st of December 1994. Would love to taste it, but it's too nice to open.

Phil.

Very nice Phil! You don't tend to find these port bottles very often these days.

I was lucky to pickup several unopened RAAC ports.

I reckon most probably would still be drinkable.
