I was just cleaning out my basement and came across a few bottles of cider from a number of years ago, at least five.

They were sealed with flip top lids, and except for a bit of oxidation were not terrible. The seals weren't in the greatest condition, and I had
expected them to be completely sour, but I guess the seals held.

They weren't in good enough condition to be worth drinking, but I was surprised they were still recognizable as cider.
