Common FAQs

Do I need to keep en primeur receipts and winery delivery notes?

It is highly recommended to keep them. Source documents such as en primeur receipts, winery delivery notes, and import declarations can increase buyer confidence and indirectly lead to better resale prices.

Chateau Margaux: Will a bulging cork or seepage affect the resale value of French wine?

Yes, it will. A drop in the wine level is the most undesirable. A bulging cork usually indicates heat expansion or oxidation, which directly affects the storage condition and resale price. Slight seepage needs to be evaluated bottle by bottle, while severe seepage may lead to rejection.

Will you still accept wine with a stained or water-marked label?

Yes, we will. Minor stains, water marks, or creases on the label 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.

How much extra value does a complete wooden case (OWC/OCB) add?

Original wooden cases are 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 loose bottles. The integrity of the wooden case (no damage, clear branding) will also be factored into the assessment.
