Assessment Item Perfect Condition (Highest Resale Price) Value-Reducing Factors (Affecting Quote)

Common FAQs

How much do a damaged capsule or torn foil affect the wine?

Minor 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 best to keep it intact. If the capsule is completely detached and the cork is visible, the price will be reduced by about 5–10%.

Will a raised cork or seepage from Chateau Latour Pauillac 1er Cru 2004 affect its resale value?

Yes, it will. A drop in the wine level is the most critical issue for red wine. A raised cork usually indicates expansion due to heat or oxidation, which directly affects the storage condition and resale value. Minor seepage needs to be assessed bottle by bottle, while severe seepage may lead to refusal.

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 wine," which will significantly lower the price. On the other hand, having records from a temperature-controlled wine cabinet will add value.

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

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