If very old wine has sediment on the bottom, is it still safe to drink?

It is completely normal for older wines to throw some sediment that precipitates to the bottom of the bottle. A wine that has sediment is completely safe to drink, just make sure to stop pouring the wine once you get to the bottom of the bottle where the sediment lies, as you don't really want to drink the sediment. You can also decant the wine into a decanter fitted with a fine mesh sieve at the top so you can separate the particles from the remainder of the wine.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question. As wine ages the sediment is normal.

Be gentile when you open and pour it to keep the sediment from getting stirred up into the wine. I would consider using a decanter. Not all wine ages gracefully so have another bottle ready to go incase this has gone bad.

This is perfectly normal and they make strainers for putting the wine in other containers without the sediment. You can also use an aerator to pour to get air into the wine. This wine should be left to breath well before you drink it.
