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 customs declarations can boost buyer confidence, indirectly leading to a better resale price.

If my 2013 Margaux has a popped cork or leakage, will it affect the resale value?

Yes. A drop in the wine level is the worst thing for red wine. A popped cork usually indicates heat expansion or oxidation, which directly affects the preservation status and resale price. Slight leakage will be assessed on a bottle-by-bottle basis, while severe leakage may lead to rejection.

How much do damaged capsules or torn foil affect the value?

Slight damage has limited impact; it mainly depends on the condition of the wine inside the bottle. The foil is the first barrier protecting the cork, so it is recommended to keep it intact. If the capsule is completely detached and the cork is visible, the price will be reduced by approximately 5–10%.

I have several red wines from different wineries. Can I get a combined valuation?

Yes, you can. We accept mixed deliveries, with each bottle assessed and quoted independently. We accept a minimum of one bottle, and any number of bottles is welcome.
