Hong Kong Hang Commercial offers a door-to-door wine collection service in Hong Kong, and our valuation standards are transparent and credible. For high-value wines like the 1990 Richebourg, the following details will directly determine the final offer:
| Inspection Item (Checklist) | Perfect Condition Standard | Impact on Price |
|---|---|---|
| Ullage (Fill Level) | < 2cm from cork or Into Neck | Excessively low fill levels (e.g., Low Shoulder) will significantly reduce value |
| Label Condition | Clean, intact, no severe stains or moisture damage | Damaged or blurry labels affect collectibility, aesthetic appeal, and price |
| Capsule | Complete, intact, no corrosion, clear embossed top | Damage may indicate poor storage conditions or risk of counterfeiting |
| Cork | Firm, no leakage, springy when pressed | Seepage is a serious flaw, directly affecting wine quality assessment |

️ Serving Suggestions and Food Pairing Guide
