Hi fellow wine lovers
We bought a house couple of weeks ago and the previous owner left some wine in the wine fridge in the kitchen. Now some of the bottles are in pristine condition and I was able to identify them with no problem. Best one I believe is a Penfolds Grange 1998.
Quite a few bottles however have really bad mold on them. I know that mold per se is not bad as long as the cork is intact. I would try to clean the bottles and labels and store them for (soon) drinking.
However I was wondering if these bottles on the picture are actually worth going though that hassle? Can you recognize them? Vintage I guess are all around 1980 – 2005.
On another note, the wine fridge also has some mold spots. Any experience with that? I wiped it clean with 80% alcohol. I am a bit worried about hidden mold though, e.g. in the fan and in the air ventilation behind the back wall. Can I use it again and maybe just pay attention if mold shows up again? Unfortunately forgot to snap a picture before cleaning.
Thank you so much!

As they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating. It will be impossible to know until the cork is pulled but it will be a fascinating journey
