Common FAQs

How many points are added if the original wooden case (OWC/OCB) is complete?

An original wooden case is a significant bonus for prestigious red wines, especially for sealed cases of 6 or 12 bottles. The resale price can be 15-30% higher than for individual bottles. The integrity of the wooden case (no damage, clear branding) will also be included in the assessment.

Will a protruding cork or leakage affect the resale value of Chateau Margaux 1er Cru 1996?

Yes. A drop in liquid level is the worst for red wine. A protruding cork usually indicates heat expansion or oxidation, directly affecting the storage condition and resale price. Slight leakage needs to be assessed bottle by bottle; severe leakage may lead to rejection.

Do damaged capsules or torn foil have a significant impact?

Slight damage has a limited impact; the main factor is the condition of the wine inside the bottle. The foil is the first line of defense for the cork, so it is recommended to keep it intact. If the capsule is completely missing and the cork is visible, the price will be reduced by approximately 5-10%.

Will you still accept wine if the label is stained or water-marked?

Yes. Minor label stains, water marks, or creased paper are considered normal signs of aging and will not significantly reduce the price. However, if the label is completely torn or the vintage year is unclear, it will affect the difficulty of authentication and valuation.
