Question
I have an unopened bottle of this brandy that is rather large. I think it would be a jereboam if it were champagne. It still has the net on it and is about 20 inches tall. I want to donate the brandy to a silent auction and need to know the approximate. value. Thanks

Hi Victoria

Just for the contents, you can take the bottle price of a normal bottle (750ml) and multiply that to get your value.  My guess is that what you have is a magnum--a double bottle.  That would make your brandy worth about $60 for the brandy...but larger bottles usually are hard to find, and command a premium in the auction business.  I think you might value this one at $75 to $100
