Chunxiang Wine Merchants Buyback Case: A Sheung Wan Trading Firm Cashes In Idle Feitian Moutai During Its Annual Stocktake

In Hong Kong, a fast-paced commercial city, behind every well-preserved bottle of wine there is often a history of interpersonal exchanges and business cooperation. In Hong Kong's professional baijiu, imported spirits and Champagne buyback platform, we "Chunxiang Wine Merchants" come into contact with a variety of customers every day. Today, we would like to share a real buyback story that happened in Sheung Wan and take you through the professional baijiu buyback process.

Client’s background and sales opportunities

On Wednesday afternoon last week, we received a WhatsApp query from Mr. Li. Mr. Lee is the executive director of a China-Hong Kong trading company in Sheung Wan with a history of more than 20 years.

Reason for sale: Recently, when the company's management was conducting annual financial and material inventory, they discovered that a batch of high-end baijiu donated by early mainland partners were stored in the company's constant-temperature warehouse, including the bottles of "Kweichow Moutai" in good condition in the picture. Since the company's business banquets in recent years have been mostly served with red wine or Champagne, this batch of baijiu has been idle in the warehouse. After discussion at the management meeting, it was decided to liquidate these non-operating idle assets, and all the proceeds will be allocated to the company's employee benefits and lottery funds at the end of the year.

Appraisal and transaction process: details determine value

At first, Mr. Li only sent a few photos of Moutai (as shown in the picture). From the photos, we initially judged that this batch is "Feitian Moutai" with a classic gold outer box and a red and white wine label. Judging from the binding method of the wine belt and the details of the outer box, the preservation condition is quite good.

In order to give the most accurate valuation and save customers time, we made an appointment with Mr. Li to go directly to their office in Sheung Wan for a free on-site appraisal the next day.

After arriving at the site, our professional appraisers conducted the following in-depth inspection steps, which are also the core of determining the buyback value of Moutai:

1. Sealing and anti-counterfeiting inspection: We carefully used a professional strong flashlight to illuminate the red rubber cap (capsule) of Moutai, and checked whether the font features of the anti-counterfeiting mark and inkjet code met the process requirements of the year of manufacture. The plastic caps of these bottles of wine show no signs of damage, cracks or secondary packaging.
2. Red ribbon and label details: Feitian Moutai’s red ribbon embroidery process, digital coding, as well as the paper texture and printing dots of the front and back labels are the keys to distinguishing authenticity. The trademarks of this batch of wine are full of color and there is no sign of moisture or mold.
3. Gram weight measurement (wine running test): This is the most critical part. Since baijiu is volatile, if the storage environment is not good, "wine running" (volatilization) will easily occur, resulting in weight loss and deterioration of the wine body. We used a precise electronic scale to weigh the wine, and were pleasantly surprised to find that due to the superior environment of the trading company's constant-temperature warehouse, the weights of these bottles of wine were within the normal standard range, and there was almost no leakage.

After the appraisal was completed, we explained each appraisal result to Mr. Li in detail and gave a buyback quotation that was higher than the market average. Mr. Li was very satisfied with our professionalism and transparency. The two parties signed a buyback agreement on the spot, and we completed the settlement immediately in cash/FPS (FPS).

This batch of idle wine not only freed up valuable storage space for the trading company, but also successfully transformed into generous year-end benefits that the employees looked forward to.

📊 Feitian Moutai market trend and valuation reference table in recent years

In order to let everyone understand the market value of Feitian Moutai more intuitively, we have compiled a comparison of recent trends of similar products (Note: The following prices are the recent market reference range. The actual buyback value depends on the specific condition, weight and completeness of accessories of the single product.):

Product name/year	Product features	The impact of wine fraud on valuation	Market appreciation/preservation trends in recent years	Comprehensive buyback rating (out of 5 stars)
2010-2015 Feitian Moutai	Classic packaging, the wine begins to mature	The impact is huge (if the weight is less than 900g, the price will be significantly discounted)	Steady value preservation and huge market demand	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
2016-2020 Feitian Moutai	Anti-counterfeiting technology upgraded, traceability clear	Larger impact (new wine should be heavy and full)	Transparent prices and strong liquidity	⭐⭐⭐⭐
90s iron-cap/red leather Moutai	Long history and extremely rare	A small amount of volatilization is allowed, but the heavy price is sky-high	Rare old wine with extremely high collection and auction value	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+

Professional tip: The older the Moutai is, the mellower its wine body will be. As long as it is stored properly (no wine leakage or loss of appearance), its buyback value usually far exceeds the sale price of the year.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about baijiu buyback

Q1: I don’t understand wine, how do I know if the Moutai at home has any “wine leakage”? A: The easiest way is to look and smell. If there are obvious wine stains around the mouth of the bottle, or a strong smell of wine can be smelled through the box, it usually means a leak has occurred. In addition, you can also weigh it on an electronic scale. Generally, the total weight of the 500ml Feitian Moutai bottle should be between 940g and 960g (there are slight differences in different years). If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us for a free evaluation.

Q2: In addition to Moutai, what other wines do you buy back? A: We buy a full range of premium alcoholic beverages, including Chinese baijiu such as Wuliangye and Guojiao; Cognac such as Hennessy, Martell, and Rémy Martin; single malt whisky such as The Macallan, Yamazaki, and Hibiki; and prestige Champagne and red wine.

Q3: If the outer packaging box of the wine is lost or slightly damaged, can it still be bought back? A: Yes. Although the absence of an outer box or damaged packaging will slightly affect the overall collection value and buyback value, as long as the wine itself is genuine and well-preserved, we will still buy back it at a reasonable high market price.

Q4: Is your transaction process safe? Do you need me to send the wine? A: Safe indeed. We provide door-to-door preliminary identification and buyback services throughout Hong Kong (such as the office, downstairs lobby or a safe location designated by you). Face-to-face appraisal, on-the-spot quotation, instant payment, never default, ensuring that your rights and privacy are protected to the maximum extent.
