...alas, he wouldn't be able to discern much. His Shingan allowed him to see much, but simply divining the nature and purpose of things from thin air was beyond him. He could simply do a... taste test and see what would happen, although that was perhaps... risky.
Shrugging, he loaded up the 7, making damn sure they were in the safest, most cushioned spots possible, and left the cellar, wading along like some sort of... puffed-up alcohol vendor. It didn't take him long, however, to reach the others, even at the more careful pace he had to go.
He laid out all the normal alcohol for the others to see. "Drinks, everyone! Have at it and enjoy yourselves... I, for one, would say that you have more than earned it."
With that, he turned to the Queen, and sat out the seven potions. "My lady, I couldn't help but notice that these seven in particular thrummed with a subtle magic. Quite a clever hiding place. If I may be so bold, might I know what effect each of these would have if I were to partake?"
He grinned. "I would assume that, regardless of their effects, consuming all seven at once would be... quite unpleasant, ja? Fatal, I would guess." That's how these things usually went, though he might attempt it anyway. If it snuffed out his life forever, then so be it... and if he rose from the ashes like he had for so many years, then he would do so renewed and likely enhanced. A win-win, as far as he was concerned.
