In Hong Kong, a city where land is at a premium, every storage space in your home is precious. Many times, those items forgotten in the corner of the storage room often hide unexpected value. Today, the buyback story we want to share happened during an ordinary weekend cleaning.
Seller information and original intention of sale
Customer background: Mr. Li lives in Kowloon District, Hong Kong and is engaged in the trading industry.
Reason for sale: Last weekend, Mr. Li and his wife decided to conduct a thorough cleaning of the lockers at home to free up more space for daily necessities. While sorting out the cabinet on the bottom floor, he discovered six bottles of Feitian Moutai given to him by his business partner a few years ago. Mr. Li does not usually have the habit of drinking high-strength baijiu. In addition, the climate in Hong Kong is humid. He was worried that improper storage for a long time would cause the wine to evaporate and depreciate in value, so he decided to find a professional buyback agency to monetize it. Through Internet search, Mr. Li contacted us "Chunxiang Wine Merchants".
Transaction Process: From Preliminary Assessment to Professional Appraisal
During the first communication, Mr. Li sent us several photos of the products via WhatsApp. From the front photo he provided, we can clearly see that these are six bottles of 53-degree 500ml Kweichow Moutai (Feitian brand) with classic red ribbons. The details of the back label are also relatively intact. The wheat pattern and anti-counterfeiting barcode on the back are clearly visible, and the overall quality is quite good.


In order to give the most accurate quotation, we invited Mr. Li to bring the wine to our physical store in Hong Kong for detailed appraisal.
That afternoon, Mr. Li arrived as scheduled with six bottles of Moutai. Our professional appraisers immediately started the rigorous inspection process:
-
Sealing and anti-counterfeiting inspection: First, use a professional anti-counterfeiting light to illuminate the red plastic cap of Moutai to check whether the hidden anti-counterfeiting mark is normal. Then carefully observe the shrinkage of the capsule to confirm that there are no signs of secondary heating or plucking.
-
Wine label and appearance evaluation: Check the printed fonts, secret marks on the front and back labels, and the oxidation degree of the paper. Although these six bottles of wine appear to have some signs of storage, there is no serious damage or water damage.
-
Gram weight measurement (key steps): baijiu is extremely prone to "evaporation" (evaporation) during storage. We weigh each bottle using precision electronic scales. Fortunately, the weight of these six bottles of Moutai remains between 940g and 955g, which are in an excellent state of preservation and almost no volatility.
After the appraisal was completed, we explained the current market conditions to Mr. Li in detail and gave a very competitive price. Mr. Li was very satisfied with our transparency and professionalism, and immediately decided to complete the transaction, and we quickly completed the payment via bank transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: My Moutai does not have an outer carton, only a bare bottle. Do you still buy back it?
A1: Absolutely bought back. Although the price of wine with original packaging boxes will be slightly higher, as long as the capsule of the naked bottle is intact and the weight of the wine reaches the standard, we will still buy back it at a very reasonable high market price.
Q2: What is "drinking"? Can I still sell the wine after running away?
A2: "Wine runaway" refers to the fact that due to loose sealing or storage environment problems, the alcohol in the bottle evaporates and the weight decreases. Wine leakage will affect the taste and collection value of Moutai, thus reducing the buyback value. But as long as it is not completely bottomed out, we will provide corresponding buyback plans based on the remaining weight.
Q3: How long does the entire appraisal and transaction process take?
A3: In-store, the identification and valuation of a single lot (such as six bottles in this case) is typically completed within 10 to 15 minutes. After confirming the price, we support cash or instant bank transfer to ensure that funds arrive safely and quickly.
Do you also have an idle baijiu, imported spirits or Champagne at home? Rather than letting them take up space in the corner, it is better to leave it to "Chunxiang Wine Merchants". We will provide you with the most professional identification and the most generous returns for your wines.
