Selling bottles past their printed date

I'm looking for some advice from anyone who might know where I stand on this matter. I work in an off licence shop. For the past 2 weeks we have received in our delivery, 2 cases of a well known cheap wine like drink. The date printed on the bottles is 23/03/07. It doesn't state "best before" or "use by", just the date. Generally wine bottles don't have dates on them. The boss is away at the moment. The assistant manager keeps putting them out on sale. Every time I do a shift, I remove them from sale, as I don't think it's right to sell them. The assistant manager has told the staff that after phoning other stores, that this is the date it was bottled. Any suggestions?

Should I call trading standards for their advice?

If I take your advice, who would be to blame if someone became ill after drinking it? I personally wouldn't want that on my conscience!

They wouldn't be ill - alcohol is a preservative. At most the flavour would deteriorate.

If it doesn't say Best Before, then I think it must be the manufacturing date.

Agree sounds like the production date and not when best buy!!!
