You have a 1977 bottle that once was white bordeaux table wine.
I really don't think you have wine anymore, just some kind of acidic mixture that may or may not taste like vinegar.
Try to remove the cork without destroying it too badly, if you can; otherwise just push it into the bottle. Pour the contents down the drain and use the bottle as a candle holder, if you wish.
You might give it a snif before you toss it, but I dare say I would not try to taste it!
Sorry..........................
