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 line of defense for 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 about 5–10%.

Will DRC's buyback of Romanee Saint Vivant 1999 be affected by a protruding cork or leakage?

Yes. A drop in liquid level is the worst for red wine. A protruding cork usually indicates heat expansion or oxidation, directly affecting the storage condition and buyback price. Slight leakage needs to be assessed bottle by bottle, while severe leakage may lead to rejection.

Should futures receipts and winery delivery notes be kept?

Strongly recommended. Source documents such as futures receipts, winery delivery notes, and import customs declarations can increase buyer confidence and indirectly lead to a better buyback price.

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

An original wooden case is a significant bonus for prestigious red wines, especially for sealed cases of 6 or 12 bottles. The buyback price can be 15–30% higher than for individual bottles. The integrity of the wooden case (no damage, clear branding) will also be factored into the assessment.
