Common FAQs

How much do a damaged capsule or torn foil affect value?

Slight damage has limited impact; the main factor 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, revealing the cork, the value will be reduced by approximately 5–10%.

Will a protruding or leaking cork on a Margaux 2016 affect its resale value?

Yes. A drop in the wine level is the biggest concern for red wine. A protruding cork usually indicates heat expansion or oxidation, which directly impacts the storage condition and resale price. Minor leakage needs to be assessed bottle by bottle, and severe leakage may lead to rejection.

I have several bottles of red wine from different wineries. Can I get a quote for all of them together?

Yes. We accept mixed deliveries. Each bottle is individually appraised and quoted. We accept as few as one bottle, so any quantity is welcome.

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 resale 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.
