Welcome Peri,

I think the first question I have about your wine is whether the
bottles were stored on their side. If they were standing up all of
these years, the corks likely dried out, therefore not providing a
good seal in the neck of the bottle. In that case, you might have
vinegar 8-P
I have no clue about the champagne or beer, though.
