Key points of this article (organized): Hello everyone, I am the old wine appraiser of "Chunxiang Wine Merchants".

Hello everyone, I am the old wine appraiser of "Chunxiang Wine Merchants". In Hong Kong, many people may have a few bottles of old wine left behind by their elders in a wine cabinet or under their bed. Many times, if the next generation does not drink strong alcohol, it will be left to its own devices. Today I would like to share with you a real buyback case that has just been completed. Let’s see how Pang Sang in Kwun Tong buys back the old items under the cabinet.Moutai, converted into real cash.

Moutai indicative buyback value

📦 Seller’s background and reason for sale

  • Seller: Peng Sheng (pseudonym), 45 years old, IT industry
  • Place of residence: Kwun Tong District
  • Reason for sale: House owners are preparing for major renovations and clearing out debris.

Last week, Peng Sheng found our "Chunxiang Wine Merchants" through WhatsApp. They said that the old man passed away a few years ago and left behind an old wooden wine cabinet filled with some baijiu and medicinal wine from the mainland. Peng Sheng himself only drank beer and red wine, and had absolutely no knowledge of China's baijiu. When he saw the whole house, he decided to renovate it. His wife thought the wine cabinet was an obstruction, so he took a picture for us (the picture you see above).

As soon as I received the photo, my eyes immediately twitched. We met and removed a few of them Five-star Moutai, there are some original boxes Moutai with "2003" and "2016" written on them, and there is even a very vintage Beijing Tongrentang tiger bone wine next to it. I immediately told Peng Sheng, "Peng Sheng, these are not ordinary sundries, they are 'famous wines with collectible value'."

🔍 Identification process: traces of time under plastic wrap

In the afternoon of Xunri, I personally went to Peng Sheng’s house for appraisal. When I opened the wine cabinet, the aroma of old wine hit my nostrils. I focused on one of them, which was covered with plastic wrap 2003Feitian Moutai above.

Peng Sheng said: "These are the ones wrapped in plastic wrap. My father told me to take away the wine when he was alive, and I asked my mother to wrap them up. I don't dare to open them."

This is a common practice used by many elderly people to preserve famous wines. As a professional appraiser, I carefully opened a little plastic wrap at the top to inspect:

  1. Sealing and coding: Although it has been baptized by the years, the red rubber cap still shrinks naturally, and the unique 2003 inkjet font is clear and has no trace of tampering.
  2. Hops and weight: Shake gently, the hops are fine and dissipate slowly. Then I put an electronic scale on it, and the weight was quite ideal, proving that the old man’s wrapping of plastic wrap really worked, and there was very little volatilization (wine leakage).
  3. Tags and details: Feitian Fairy's Fairy Clothes Ribbon is exquisitely printed, and the inscription matches the characteristics of the year.

Peng Sheng and I explained in detail the preciousness of this wine: the 2003 Moutai is more than 20 years old. The wine has matured very well and is a very popular vintage wine on the market. Peng Sheng was so surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that the old man's fondness for staying low turned out to be so valuable.

📊 Product identification and valuation report
