Common FAQs

Does a damaged capsule or torn foil greatly affect the value?

Slight damage has limited impact; the main thing is the condition of the wine inside the bottle. The foil is the first barrier protecting the cork, so it's 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%.

Will a protruding or leaking cork on a Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 1er Cru 1976 (1976 Château Mouton Rothschild red wine) affect its resale value?

Yes. A drop in the wine level is highly undesirable. A protruding cork usually indicates heat expansion or oxidation, which directly impacts the storage condition and resale price. Minor leakage needs to be evaluated bottle by bottle, while severe leakage may result in rejection.

I have several bottles of red wine from different wineries. Can they be appraised together?

Yes. We accept mixed deliveries. Each bottle is independently appraised and quoted. We accept a minimum of one bottle, and any number of bottles are welcome.

Are temperature and storage key factors affecting the resale price?

Yes. The ideal storage for red wine is 12-15°C, 65-75% humidity, away from light, and without vibration. Long-term high-temperature storage can degrade the wine quality, commonly known as "cooked," which will significantly reduce the price. Having records from a temperature-controlled wine cabinet will add value.
