Question
My mother has a sealed bottle of Louis xiii de Remy Martin Grande Champagne Cognac in presentaion box. Do you know where she could sell this and its value? many thanks.

Answer
HI Nichola

it's illegal for private individuals to sell alcoholic beverages in the USA, so your best bet is to check with a local fine wine shop to see if they will allow you to trade it for something else...

You can also see if Winecommune.com will accept it online...and you can always sell it on ebay--but you will have to post a note that it is not for consumption, so that the Feds don't come after you.

If it were mine, I would give it to a friend who might really enjoy it, or trade it to someone who has something to offer me...
