Common FAQs

Lafite 2001 - The vintage or version is uncertain, can I still get a quote?

For Lafite 2001, we can first provide an estimated range. As long as the wooden box branding, front label, bottle neck fill level, and back label are clearly visible, Hong Kong Wine will typically be able to determine an initial direction. The final offer will still be based on a physical inspection of the capsule, wooden box, storage temperature, and vintage.

How do I know if Lafite 2001 is worth arranging a physical inspection?

Before selling your Lafite 2001, it is recommended not to clean, retouch, reseal, or unwrap the original packaging. The original condition often provides more reference value than a tidied-up one, especially if there is cork protrusion, which should be photographed clearly.

If Lafite 2001 has cork protrusion, will it be completely rejected?

Lafite 2001 with incomplete accessories may not be entirely rejected, but it will affect buyer confidence. If you have original box information and purchase history, it's best to provide them. If not, an estimate can still be made based on the physical condition.

How much will the estimated price for Lafite 2001 differ between photo appraisal and on-site inspection?

Having original box information and purchase history will make the Lafite 2001 quote more accurate, as the origin, version, or accessory condition can all affect buyer confidence. The more complete the information, the fewer back-and-forth adjustments to the quote.

Will the quote for Lafite 2001 be affected by market conditions on the day?

Lafite 2001 can be appraised along with other wines, but please photograph them separately. Each item will be assessed based on its capsule, wooden box, storage temperature, and vintage. Hong Kong Wine will not lump them all into a single average price.
