I have 40 year`s experience tasting, collecting and enjoying wines as an amateur enthusiast. Bordeaux and Port are my particular loves and I regularly buy and sell at auction.

I can only help with valuations, buying or selling if you tell me where you live as there are many variations around the world.

Experience
I would not feel confident answering questions on German wines or those of the USA, South Africa or Australia. But please check my prestige rating and browse "Browse Past Answers" at the top of this page to see if I'm the one you want to help on everything else! (PLEASE don't forget to tell me where you are if you want my estimation of value or help buying or selling!)

Wine - 1966 Phillip De Rothchild

Question
We are trying to find out information about a bottle of Champagne. The Champagne in question is a 1966 Ruinart Phillip De Rothschild Perflis??? I have not seen the bottle, but my friend has it and wanted me to ask someone. The lable is yellow with bronz print. If so is it worth anything being that champagne inside is probably not good anymore? Bottle and lable are in excellent condition

Answer
Hi Steven,

I think you are right to think this is probably not good after so long and I don't think your friend would find it easy to sell so I can't see any value here, which is a shame as this would have been a very fine Champagne in its day - say 30 years ago!
