My German grandmother's (she lived in Australia since 1950) first reaction when the Gulf War started in 1992 was to dash out and buy booze, explaining that in war time money is worthless but booze can be traded for anything.

I still have the bottles. No-one in the family drinks the stuff.

Is it likely to keep indefinitely? Already off? The liquid levels in the bottles haven't dropped and obviously they've never been opened.
