1. Rarity of edition and year (identification of old and new editions)

- Cordon Bleu (CORDON BLEU) As a wine of the same level as XO but more representative, its Old version (before 1980s) The buyback value is much higher than the new version. The biggest feature of the old version is that the bottle ribbon will exceed the wax seal label and be connected to the wine label.
