Common FAQs

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

Yes. We accept mixed deliveries. Each bottle will be individually appraised and quoted, with a minimum of one bottle. Any number of bottles is welcome.

Red Wine | Recycling Haut-Brion 2020 Vintage Red Wine. Will a protruding cork or leakage affect the recycling value?

Yes. A drop in liquid level is the worst for red wine. A protruding cork usually indicates heat expansion or oxidation, which directly affects the storage condition and recycling price. Minor leakage will be assessed per bottle, while severe leakage may result in rejection.

Do damaged capsules or torn foil significantly impact the value?

Minor damage has limited impact; the condition of the wine inside the bottle is the main factor. The foil is the first barrier protecting the cork, so it's best to keep it intact. If the capsule is completely missing and the cork is visible, the price will be reduced by approximately 5–10%.

Should I keep en primeur receipts and winery delivery notes?

Strongly recommended. Source documents such as en primeur receipts, winery delivery notes, and import customs declarations can boost buyer confidence, indirectly leading to a better recycling price.

How do I get a free appraisal from Wang Hong Hong?

Simply WhatsApp us at 9453 0784 with photos. Clearly photograph the front label of the bottle, the liquid level at the neck, and the capsule seal. We generally provide a reference price within 10 minutes. We offer free on-site collection services in Hong Kong, Kowloon, New Territories, and Macau, or you can bring your items to our store for immediate transaction.
