How much are these twelve bottles of Bordeaux that Aunt Hortense gave us for our wedding ? What is the price of this Château-Chalon 1985 found in my great-grandfather’s cellar ? Are these bottles of Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru with time-consuming labels still worth anything ?
These questions now have an answer if you go to www.cashiswine.fr/en with your bottle references.
Cashiswine offers a free and immediate estimate of all your wines. An original way to take stock of the treasures in your cellar.
There is a real market for mature wines. “There is a good chance that many cellars are full of small treasures that are sleeping and would only like to leave the cellar and be dusted off”, explains Edgar GRANTOT, the head of Cashiswine.
But what could, moreover, cause a private individual to estimate the contents of his cellar ? For Edgar GRANTOT, the reasons can be many : “There can be curiosity, but also the desire to get rid of. I remember a couple who bought a batch of wine in the 1980s. And then the bottles went into oblivion, until the day when they no longer saw the need to keep them, they gave them up to take a trip. And, it must be said, mature wines always find buyers from amateurs”.
Edgar GRANTOT, who specializes in buying wine from private individuals, is interested in buying lots of wine : “Among ordinary wines, there are sometimes great wines that will attract collectors and enlightened amateurs.
Edgar GRANTOT gives as a preview some indications and observations that can help individuals to sort in their cellar : “The general state of the bottle, its label, its cap and the level of liquid inside give already some elements of estimation”.
The estimate is calculated automatically by means of an algorithm based on the real price of the wines and not on the prices from the auctions in order to avoid the strong fluctuations caused by them.
Sometimes we find real treasures that nourish the imagination. The stories are rare but they continue to fuel fantasies like that of a couple who discovered a bottle of Romanée Conti 1980 by renovating his cellar or his workers who fell on a crate of 6 magnums Cheval Blanc 1982 by realizing the enlargement of a house.
