5 Key Factors Determining Resale Price

When evaluating 1989 Le Pin for purchase, our team of experts will conduct a precise assessment of the following details, which are also the core indicators affecting the final wine resale price:

  1. Fill Level:

    For aged wines over 30 years old, whether the fill level is "Base Neck" or "Very High Shoulder" is the primary standard for judging its preservation condition.

  2. Label Condition:

    Whether the label is damp, damaged, or stained with wine. An intact, undamaged label can significantly increase the auction value of high-end wines.

  3. Capsule:

    Check for any signs of leakage, whether the capsule rotates freely, and if there is any corrosion on the foil.

  4. Provenance and Storage Environment:

    Whether it was stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled wine cellar (12°C - 15°C). Wines with purchase receipts or customs documents will command a better resale price.

  5. Original Wooden Case (OWC):

    If the original 6-bottle or 12-bottle wooden case can be provided, its overall buyback value will be higher than individual loose bottles.
