Question
we are trying to appraisal a bottle of courvisier..we have serial number...where can we go to see how much its worth.

Answer
Hi Jennifer

You can try doing a search on ebay, or even o the web in general...or you can contact an auction house like Sothebys or winebid.com...

But what you will learn is that distilled products like your Courvoisier Cognac don't really improve in the bottle.  The alcohol level is too high, and it protects/prevents them from changing.

The result is that the bottle isn't worth a lot more than a curent bottle of the same stuff:  maybe $50-75.  But the good news is that it still hasn't changed: it's as good as it was when it was bottled.

If it were me, I would save it for a special occasion and open it up to enjoy with friends and family.

Sorry to be the bearer of sad news.
