Those wines look like a bunch of $10-$20 grocery store bottles. Try them, dump them if they suck, they are worth nothing second hand.

The Jameson should still be good.

ETA: Not an expert, but I see those labels all the time.

I assume you know the Jameson is a whisky

Might be a gem, but unless you can verify storage conditions for 30 years it probably isn't worth shite for sale.

Drink it and enjoy.

The Moraga is a wine made from a vineyard in Los Angeles, in Bel Air, and is pretty good and pretty consistent. It's definitely mature, probably over the hill, but probably still interesting. I'd drink it.

How they were stored is the most important thing. Also, only about 10% of wine made is meant to age.

This is the platonic ideal of what a collection suburban home wines looks like. Not judging, just know that these are the kinds of wines that are made to be simple, drinkable, inoffensive, extremely affordable, and most certainly do not benefit from aging.

Just to be clear, you’re referring to the people who took time out of their evening to answer the specific question OP was asking?

Buena Vista should be good if it was stored properly

Definitely open one at a time, try, if it sucks but isn't rancid use for cooking or toss.

Why do you need someone else's opinion on something like this? Open it and drink it or throw it out.

Actually OP those bottom 2 wines could be legit. The Moraga is prob worth triple digits as long as the storage situation isn’t a disaster. Don’t know about the one on the left but I don’t recognize it from grocery stores.
