Question
can you tell me what a case of courvoisier from 1963 is worth thanks greg

Answer
Hi Greg

Distilled spirits like Cognac don't really change much in the bottle, for better or for worse, like some fine wines do.  The good news is that your bottles should be in great condition, and taste very much the way they tasted when they were bottled so many years ago.  The bad news is that they won't taste any better than that--and they won't be worth any more than a current bottling of the same stuff.  I would estimate about $50 a bottle.  

Sorry that I can't give you  more exciting news.
