❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Wine Recycling Knowledge Base

Q1: My Lafite wine doesn't have its original wooden case. Do you buy it back? A: Yes, we buy back single bottles (naked bottles) or entire cases of Lafite. While the original wooden case (OWC) usually carries a slight premium, we still offer high prices for the wine as long as it's in good condition.

Q2: My vintage Lafite from decades ago has a slightly moldy label. Is it still valuable? A: For older red wines stored in professional wine cabinets or cellars, mold on the label due to humidity is normal (and even a sign of good preservation). As long as the water level is normal and the cork is not leaking, it still has high resale value. Please take photos and send them to us for evaluation.

Q3: Why is the 2008 Lafite special? A: The 2008 Lafite bottle has a red Chinese character "八" (eight) printed on it, which is very commemorative and popular in the Asian market. Therefore, its resale price is often higher than that of adjacent ordinary years.

Q4: Do you only buy back Lafite? A: In addition to Lafite, we also buy back all DRC (Romanée-Conti) , Petrus , Mouton , Margaux , Latour , Haut-Brion , as well as top Burgundy wines and whiskies at high prices.
