Liquor – Every now and then one reads about a fantastic
price paid at a liquor auction for a very old bottle of liquor. The question which comes to mind is – Are
these auctions for show, or for the “dough”?
We suggest it’s for a bit of both.
Barneby’s reported that the global turnover of wine auctions alone
topped $346 million in 2015! Sotheby’s
recently sold a case of Richebourg 1978 for £211 500 – a record and three
times the amount it was expected to fetch.
One of our clients recently mentioned
she still has a bottle of 1939 KWV Tawny Port from varsity days. On enquiry, we learnt that it is valued at about R10 000.00. The client is now
considering selling it and booking a Mauritius island holiday!

liquor of which you would like the approximate value? Click HERE to send us your
