Common FAQs

Before selling your 1989 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) wine, what actions should you ideally avoid taking?

If the photos of the 1989 DRC wine are clear, usually we can arrange an appointment at our store or for an on-site visit. For valuable or bulk wines, arrangements will be made based on the number of bottles, location, and physical condition, with the process clearly communicated before the transaction.

How do I know if the 1989 DRC wine is worth arranging a physical inspection?

Even within the same batch of wine, each 1989 DRC bottle will be individually assessed based on its label, capsule, wooden case, and storage temperature. Taking separate photos and listing them will lead to a more accurate quote than a general inquiry for the whole batch.

If I only have a few photos of the 1989 DRC wine, can I get a rough estimate first?

After receiving photos of the 1989 DRC wine, we will first examine the label, capsule, wooden case, and storage temperature. We will then reply with the acceptable range, areas that need further inspection, and whether a physical inspection is suitable.

What if the vintage or version of the 1989 DRC wine is uncertain, can I still get a quote?

If the 1989 DRC wine has been stored at high temperatures for a long time, it doesn't necessarily mean it's completely unsaleable. It's best to disclose this honestly and provide close-up photos. Our experts will differentiate between normal signs of collection and serious issues.

Should the 1989 DRC wine be cleaned or re-packaged beforehand?

The photo-based estimate for the 1989 DRC wine is a preliminary range. On-site, we will further examine the weight, seal, accessories, and detailed areas. Discrepancies usually arise from severely damaged labels, long-term high-temperature storage, and protruding corks. Therefore, the clearer the photos, the smaller the discrepancy.
