Selling wine

[Chasingsquirrels]

We were given a single bottle of wine a few years ago and told it was worth some money. Due to various circumstances it was put in the cupboard and forgotten. I've just come across it and wondered if it was actually worth anything and how I go about selling it.

Have googled a bit and submitted a request for an online valuation.

Any recommendations of places to sell to?

So about £500? (Prof Google.) Presumably the places listed as sellers might also be buyers?

Seems a shame to sell it … And are you still in touch with the person who gave it to you? Would they have imagined a cosy evening around the fire, sharing it with you, in a few years time when it’s ready to drink?

On the other hand, if you need the money, it’s lucky you have it to sell.

Thanks.
They said about £500 when we were given it.
It was given to be drunk (at the time) by my DH who had been diagnosed with cancer and then died, I don't drink.
It wasn't given with the intention of being shared with the giver, bit of a background as to why they came to have it.
I don't need the money, but won't ever drink it and can't see that I'd give it as a present - I don't know anyone who'd appreciate drinking £500 bottle of wine.
I have no idea if it is something that would appreciate in value, it doesn't seem to have done so over the last 5 years given their comments and what I can see on current value.

Maybe I'll just put it back in the cupboard, at least I know which bottle it is now! I knew we had it but didn't know where/what it was.

I think I would sell it and do something with the money in memory of your husband.

I’d sell it, whilst it’s worth £500, and treat yourself to something nice in memory of your DH. A couple of nights in a nice hotel, maybe.

Just as an update, I've had a valuation of £325 from The London Wine Company. I'm going to take it to a local wine merchants at the weekend weekend see what they say and sell it to one or the other.
