Question
i have a bottle of 1993 varhegy-ausbruch. is this a good wine what would it cost?
Becky,
What you have is a late harvest (sweet) red wine. It's not a wine that we see here in the U.S. very often so it's very hard to determine the value. It was a good a vintage and so could draw auction bids from $50-150, but that's a guess. Also it's important that it's been stored properly.
