Rémy Martin Napoleon｜Hong Kong version of out-of-print old wine from the 1980s
The Rémy Martin Napoleon range has gradually left the mainstream market and now circulates only on the secondary market. The 1980s Hong Kong edition uses a red plastic cap, black label and English-only back label; a complete example with its red paper box is sought after by old-bottle collectors. Transitional editions also appeared in the 1990s, retaining the Napoleon name with small design changes.
Valuation highlights on this page
- For Napoleon in the 1980s, you need to look at the red lid, black label, carton and back label. It is easy to misjudge the era based on the correct label alone.
- The old imported spirits is most afraid of wine leakage, loose capsule, and moisture in the carton. These details will directly deduct the price.
- If there are old versions of Hennessy and Martell at the same time, they can be estimated according to the old imported spirits from the 1980s and 1990s.

Old version buyback list
| Version/Era | Identification characteristics and collection points |
| 1980–1989 Hong Kong version Rémy Martin Napoleon | Red plastic lid, black horizontal label, pure English back label, red carton, slightly short bottle. |
| 1990s Transitional Napoleon | The red cover design is retained, the label is slightly decorated with gold, and the back label is added in Chinese and English. |
| Other out-of-print old imported spirits from the 1980s | During the same period, Hennessy gold head, Martell gold head gold ring, Camus gold flower, etc. were also collected at the same time. |
| Tax Free version of the 1980s | Airport duty-free version, marked with "Tax Free" on the back, circulated in small quantities. |
Dating and pricing basis
- Back label language/barcode: Pure English without barcode = before 1990; Chinese and English with barcode = after 1995. This is the most direct basis for dating.
- Bottle cap material: The red plastic cover in the 1980s was soft and matte, while the new version is harder and brighter. Mild aging (fine cracks on the cover) is normal.
- carton paper: The yellowing of paper boxes from the 1980s is normal aging, and the paper of imitations that are deliberately made old is too new or too worn.
- fill level location: It is normal for old wines from the 1980s to drop slightly (within half a centimeter). Prices exceeding 1 centimeter need to be negotiated.
Dating
The carton, bottle and cap of the Hong Kong version of imported spirits from the 1980s should all have natural signs of aging: slight wear and tear on the corners of the carton, very light fogging on the inside of the glass of the bottle, and slight aging cracks in the plastic of the cap. All features should be natural and uniform; if the carton is too new but the bottle is too old, it may be a replacement product; if the bottle cap is too new but the carton is old, it may be a replacement product. It is recommended to take four pictures of the bottle body, the top of the bottle cap, the side of the carton (to see the degree of wear), and the back label.

FAQ
How much did the Hong Kong version of Napoleon cost in the 1980s?
Depending on the completeness of the cartons of the product, including the red carton, pure English back label, and the fill level reaching the shoulder, the buyback value is much higher than the current version. It is recommended to take photos and ask for specific market conditions.
Can the carton still be sold if it is damaged?
Yes. Broken cartons have a limited impact on the valuation of bare bottles (approximately 10–15% deduction). If the carton is completely missing, the buyback value is about 80% of the price with the box intact.
The old fill level in the 1980s fell to 1cm?
A drop of 1 cm is considered moderate and the value will be deducted by approximately 20–25%. No matter how serious it is (more than 1.5cm), it is recommended to consider drinking it instead of collecting it.
Will you accept the whole batch of old imported spirits from the 1980s?
Yes. The entire batch of multi-brand old imported spirits (Hennessy, Martell, Rémy Martin, CAMUS, etc.) can be valued at one time. The premium for the entire batch will be 8–15% higher than the individual bottles, which also facilitates one-time cash settlement.
