Question
Good Morning David

I hope you are well.

I have a bottle of 1985 Vintage Moet %26 Chandon Brut Imperial.  I am in the UK and was wondering what kind of valuation would i be looking at for this bottle.

Thank you in advance for your help and i look forward to your reply.

Anthony

Answer
Hi Anthony,

I'm afraid this is too old now to be easy to value as it has long-gone from merchants' shelves so I have no reference point.

However you might hope for something in the £20/30 range if you were to offer it for sale at Bigwood's in Stratford-upon-Avon (http://www.bigwoodauctioneers.com/) as they often get good prices for odd bottles of old wine.

Regards,

David
