Question
I just ran across a bottle of MUMM Cognac VSOP that has been well stored in my garage for many many years. It is full, sealed & has the original box. I can't find any MUMM Cognac on line. Has it been discontinued? When? What is my 750 ML bottle worth?

Answer
Dear mama2dylan

Back in the 1990's G.H. Mumm (then owned by Seagram's) introduced a Mumm V.S.O.P. Brandy -- allegedly used as a part of the dosage that they added to their sparkling wines.  It was nice stuff, but has since disappeared from the market.

Since it was a short-lived product, I doubt that it has much of  a resale value...maybe something like $50.  But it still should taste pretty good.  I would drink it.
