Key points of this article (organized): On the afternoon of last Wednesday, Hong Kong had just finished a storm, and the weather was a bit gloomy.

On the afternoon of last Wednesday, Hong Kong had just finished a storm, and the weather was a bit gloomy. Our "Chunxiang Wine Merchants" received a call from Kowloon Tong. The customer Zhu Shenghua wanted to deal with a batch of imported spirits that had been put away for a long time, especially a few Champagne with good vintages. As we do, when we hear "old year Champagne", our spirits naturally perk up. After making an appointment, our professional appraisal team will come directly to visit you.

When we entered Zhu Sheng's house and opened his professional thermostatic wine cabinet, we couldn't help but make a "wow" sound. What comes into view is a story that spans several generations. Dom Pérignon (Dom Pérignon, commonly known as Dom Pérignon) Great family gathering.


🍷 Story: Moving from a big house to a small house, looking for the next soulmate for my love of wine

Zhu Sheng is 65 years old and a retired trader. Back then, his business was so big that he traveled around the world and loved to celebrate with his business partners or friends.

"My children have grown up and have moved to the UK and Canada to settle down. My wife and I live in this big house, and we are planning to move to a small apartment on Hong Kong Island next month." Zhu Sheng carefully carried out some wine while talking to us. "These wines have been with me for many years. Some of them were bought as a reward for myself when I made a big deal (referring to the old vintages of 1983 and 1990), and some were left behind when my daughter got married (referring to Rosé 2009). I originally wanted to wait until my birthday to drink slowly, but the doctor told me to stop drinking, and there is no room for such a large wine cabinet in the new house. Instead of letting it get damaged, I would like to leave it to you "Chunxiang Wine Merchants" to help them find a new owner who really knows how to appreciate it. "

After listening to Zhu Sheng's sharing, we deeply felt that behind every drink of wine, there were the highlights of his life. As a professional imported spirits buyback platform, our responsibility is not only to offer a good price, but more importantly, to treat these wines full of stories well.

🔍 In-depth identification: from classic vintage to rare P2

The series sold by Zhu Sheng this time is very rich. We have conducted strict appraisals one by one (see picture):

  1. A classic that goes back in time (Picture 1): Nidu has a large number of old wines, including classic vintages such as 1983, 1990, 1993, and 1996. For Champagne, preservation is the most difficult thing. Although the wine cap and label show signs of age, Zhu Sheng's thermostatic cabinet has been properly maintained, the fill level is still very beautiful, and the color of the wine is also a healthy amber gold.

  1. Modern elegance (Picture 2): Including Dom Pérignon Rosé (pink Champagne) 2009, as well as Vintage 2013 and 2015. The output of pink Champagne is small, and 2009 was a year with excellent fruit aroma. These three bottles were brought out from the wine cabinet with water drops in them and were in good condition.

Champagne year comparison
  1. Rare work P2 (Picture 3): The most eye-catching one in the whole show, especially the one with the original black wooden box Dom Pérignon P2 Vintage 2004. P2 stands for Plénitude 2 (the second stage of renewal), that is, this wine has been aged in the cellar for more than 15 years in contact with yeast residues and is first released on the market. The taste is more mellow and complex than ordinary vintages. Complete with box and accessories, it has great collection and buyback value.

Champagne preservation and condition

After detailed evaluation, we offered a high price that made Zhu Sheng very satisfied, and completed the transaction on the spot with FPS (FPS). Zhu Sheng stopped laughing and said, "I didn't expect that you [Chunxiang Wine Merchants] would be so refreshing and professional in your work. I should have called you early in the morning."

❓ About Champagne buyback FAQ

Q1: Champagne is so durable. I don’t know whether it is good to drink it or not. Can you accept it? A: Champagne is very particular about the storage environment (requires protection from light, constant temperature of about 12°C, and flat storage). As long as it has been stored in a professional wine cabinet or cellar, the famous brand Champagne from old vintages (such as the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s) is not only drinkable, but also has a unique nutty and roasted aroma, and its market value is extremely high. We have professional appraisers. As long as you send us a photo, we can give you a preliminary valuation.

Q2: If my wine does not have the original box, will it affect the buyback value? A: For ordinary years Champagne (such as Vintage 2013 in Figure 2), the lack of boxes has little impact. However, for high-end rare wines (such as the P2 or special edition in Figure 3), the buyback value will be significantly higher if the original box, manual and other accessories are included. It is recommended that everyone remember to leave a box of wine when buying it.

Q3: What is your door-to-door appraisal and buyback process? A: Very simple. You only need to send a photo of your wine via WhatsApp (clearly showing the label, fill level, and seal), and we will provide you with a free initial quote immediately.
