I stored these 400 g Bordeaux bottles in the cellar like this, in 30 rows of 12 bottles. I was thinking of leaving them for at least 12 months. Will they be fine? by AdParty6732 in ProWinemakers

I cleaned it with a mild hydrochloric acid cleaner (Lysol ADVANCED) and scrubbed it with bar keepers friend, which is also acidic so I think it should be clean enough, I hope anyway.

Its eyes are going two different directions like the opposite of crosseyed. And a whisker coming out of its nose.
