High Price for 2015 Château Pétrus | Hong Kang Trading Co.

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

Minor damage has limited impact; the main thing to look at 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 missing and the cork is visible, the price will be reduced by approximately 5–10%.

Will a bulging or leaking cork on a 2015 Château Pétrus affect its resale value?

Yes. The most critical factor for red wine is a drop in liquid level. A bulging cork usually indicates heat expansion or oxidation, directly impacting preservation and resale value. Minor leakage needs to be assessed bottle by bottle, while severe leakage may lead to refusal.

Will you still accept wine with a stained or water-damaged label?

Yes. Minor stains, water marks, or creases on the label are considered normal signs of aging and will not significantly lower the price. However, if the label is completely torn or the vintage year is unclear, it will affect the difficulty of authentication and the valuation.

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

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