Chunxiang Wine Merchants Buyback Case: Mr. Yip's Central Wine Cellar and a Zodiac Moutai's New Chapter

Key points of this article (case sharing): Mr. Yip, a financial genius who lives in Central, decided to free up his study room to prepare for the birth of his second child, and put the "zodiac sign" that he had treasured for many years Moutai”Cut love into cash.

In the fast-paced city of Hong Kong, behind every bottle of treasured wine, there is often a story about life. As a professional buyback appraiser for "Chunxiang Wine Merchants", I travel across Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories every day to communicate with different collectors. Today, I would like to share with you a real buyback story that happened in Central.

🥃 Collector’s story: To welcome new life, parting with love and treasure

Last Wednesday afternoon, we received a call from Mr. Ye, who works in the financial industry in Central. Mr. Ye is a senior baijiu enthusiast and has collected many fine wines. The reason for contacting us this time is that the family is about to receive great joy - my wife is pregnant with her second child.

"You all know that every inch of land in Central is precious," Mr. Ye said with a smile on the phone. "In order to make room for a spacious baby room for my soon-to-be-born baby, I had to clear out my study room that also doubles as a 'wine cellar.' These wines have been with me for several years. Instead of letting them gather dust in a warehousing company, I would rather hand them over to you Chunxiang Wine Merchants and let someone who knows how to appreciate them take over."

Mr. Ye's reasons are warm and full of life. After making an appointment, I brought professional appraisal equipment and came to Mr. Ye’s apartment in Mid-Levels, Central.

🔍 Appraisal site: Witness the traces of the zodiac sign Moutai

The collection Mr. Ye brought out was eye-catching, mainly the "Kweichow Moutai Zodiac Wine" series that has been highly sought after by the market in recent years. Through the pictures we took on site, you can see several "protagonists" of this transaction:

1. Jiawu Year of the Horse Moutai (red bottle): This is an early work in the Zodiac series. The red bottle has an oriental classical beauty. Year of the Horse Moutai has always enjoyed a high reputation in the wine collection circle. Due to the relatively small production volume that year, it is now "hard to find a bottle" in the market.
   
2. Yiwei Year of the Sheep Moutai (yellow bottle): The output of Moutai in the Year of the Sheep is also scarce and is recognized by the industry as Zodiac sign Moutai"rare species". Mr. Ye has preserved it very well. From the outer packaging box to the bottle seal, there are almost no blemishes from the years, and the quality is excellent.
   
3. Jiachen Year of the Dragon Moutai (orange bottle): This is a hot item this year. During the identification process, we carried out a very critical step——weighing(As shown in the picture).
   

💡 Identification tips: Why does buyback Moutai need to be weighed? As you can see in the picture, we put the Year of the Dragon Moutai on the electronic scale, and the weight is displayed as 961.0g. This is because if baijiu is not tightly sealed during storage, the alcohol will evaporate, which is called "wine running" in the industry. The normal weight of a standard 500ml bottle of Zodiac Moutai, including the bottle and wine, is usually between 940g and 980g. 961.0g is a very standard and good data, which proves that this bottle of wine is well sealed, has a mellow body, and has no volatilization, which directly guarantees its high buyback value.

After careful anti-counterfeiting identification, sealing inspection and weighing, we confirmed that Mr. Ye’s batch of zodiac signs Moutai are all original and authentic, and their preservation status is at the collection level.
