Actually, blends like Bordeux and Burgundy mature best in the bottle. Not novelty "wines" like Spanada.
Spanada was made by Ernst and Juilio Gallo and is a wine blended with fruit and therefore very sweet. Sweet wines do not last well. Caps are not as effective as cork in keeping air out to prevent vinegaring. Spanada is also no longer produced. Gallo wines were not reknowned for their quality.
Unscrew the cap, pour a little into a wine glass. Swirl it to see if there are any sediments in the wine that will stick to the sides of the glass. Then sniff it, if it smells like vinegar, don't drink it. If it seams okay, have a small sip, that's all you'll need. This wine should be every sweet; if it's bitter or tannic, don't drink it.
