    cooking wine tends to be heavily salted ... so it probably didn't go to vinegar. But if it did go to vinegar, it might still be useful as an ingredient.

  • As a point of terminology, "corked" is a term that means the wine has spoiled, ostensibly because the cork has failed by rotting or drying out. "Sealed with the original cork" is probably a better way of putting it.

Yes, barring something really bizarre, it is safe.

It probably sucks, but the best way to know for sure is to taste it.

Know one thing, it is not any more "aged" in a positive way now than it was 23 years ago. It's just older. For more information check out the Wiki, Aging of Wine.

    That's a line I'd like to use about myself: "I'm not aged, I'm just older."
