TIL my 1950s basement had a hidden wine rack behind some old paneling

I was poking around last weekend after a pipe burst and noticed a hollow sound, so I pried the wood off and found a dusty little shelf with three bottles of homemade dandelion wine from the 70s. Still sealed, no clue if it's drinkable, has anyone ever cracked open something that old?

Ngl I'd crack one open and see if it's vinegar or still got some kick left.

Wouldn't it just taste like old wine at best though? That much time in the bottle usually means it's pretty much done for.
