Chunxiang Wine Merchants Buyback Case: A News Report Reveals the True Value of 1990s "Zhenpin" Moutai

At "Chunxiang Wine Merchants", we come into contact with all kinds of rare and famous wines every day. Behind every bottle of old wine, there is a unique experience. Today, we would like to share with you a real buyback case that happened recently in Kowloon City. This is not only a pleasant transaction, but also a process of professional identification and discovery of the value of famous wines.

Origin: An unexpected discovery on the top of a cabinet

Mr. Li, who lives in Kowloon City, is a middle school teacher who has retired for many years. His biggest hobby in daily life is to take pictures of Hong Kong's street scenery with his camera. Last week, when he was reading the morning paper, he accidentally saw a piece of news about the traditional Chinese baijiu that repeatedly hit high prices in the auction market. This report awakened his memory - he recalled that deep in the closet of his bedroom at home, there seemed to have always been a box of beautifully packaged and never opened Moutai.

It was a gift given to him in the early 1990s by a relative and friend who returned to Hong Kong from doing business in the Mainland.

Reason for sale: Mr. Li himself is a teetotaler, and this bottle of wine has been safely stored in a cool, dry wooden cabinet for many years, almost forgotten. After learning that this type of old wine had a very high market value, Mr. Li came up with the idea of ​​selling it. It happened that he had been paying close attention to an expensive high-end telephoto camera lens recently. He thought that instead of letting this bottle of famous wine with extremely high tasting value gather dust in the closet, it would be better to monetize it and use it to support his passionate interest in photography. So, he searched for professional imported spirits and baijiu buyback platforms in Hong Kong through the Internet and contacted us "Chunxiang Wine Merchants".

Professional Appraisal: Details Determine Value

After receiving Mr. Li's consultation, our appraisal specialist arranged door-to-door service on the same day. When Mr. Li took out the box of Moutai from the dust bag, our eyes suddenly lit up.

As shown in the picture, this is a bottle of classic "treasure" Kweichow Moutai (often referred to as "treasure Moutai" or "Feitian treasure" in the industry).

• Outer packaging: The classic orange and gold high-end paper box has the "Treasure" seal clearly visible on the front and three gold medals embossed on the bottom. The overall state of preservation is very good, with no obvious signs of moisture or damage.
  
• Bottle details: When you open the red velvet bag, you will see the original label with "Feitian Trademark" and a twill label with the English words "PRECIOUS". The red ribbon on the mouth of the bottle is intact, with the words "China Kweichow Moutai" clearly printed on it.
  
• Back label features: Turning to the back, there is a classic wheat ear pattern binding, and the winery introduction in Chinese and English is clear and unmistakable, which is in line with the typical characteristics of the treasure Moutai from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.
  

Core detection - "drinking" situation: When it comes to old wine buyback, appearance is important, but the internal volatility of the wine (commonly known as "wine runaway") is the key to determining the price. We used professional high-precision electronic scales for weighing. Surprisingly, since the location where Mr. Li stored it was kept at a constant temperature all year round and protected from light, this bottle of wine is still very full in weight and has extremely low evaporation. It is a rare masterpiece with "complete taste" on the market.

win-win deal

After explaining the historical background, version characteristics and current market conditions of this bottle of "Treasure Moutai" to Mr. Li in detail, we gave a very competitive buyback quotation. Mr. Li was very satisfied with our professionalism and transparent and fair pricing. The two parties successfully completed the transaction on the spot. A few days later, Mr. Li happily sent us a message to share the first satisfactory picture he took with the new lens he purchased with the funds.
