How can I find out how much my bottle of wine is worth?


I found a bottle of 1995 Vino De Eyzaguirre San Francisco de Mostazal Reserva Especial Cabernet Savinignon at my in-law's house. They said they received it as a Christmas gift. How can I find out how much the bottle is worth?

You could do a search for it on sites like winezap.com or other types of sites and see if you find a price that wine is currently being sold for. I'd just do a google search using the name of the wine You should probably should enter the vintage (1995) as well. Several different sites will pop up. Some will give you tasting notes, others may just be establishments such as restaurants that carry the win and you will also find listings for sites such as winezap that sell wine via the internet. Please note that any price you find at a restaurant is at least a 20% markup from regular retail and that you likely can't sell it for the regular retail price either. If you don't get any results do that then you may want to contact a local wine shop. They may not be able to give you any info about it but they can get info from the wine distributors and these folks have a huge depth of knowledge about wine. One thing anyone who is interested in buying it will want to know is that it's been stored properly - meaning temperature controlled and on its side. It will especially important that it hasn't been kept somewhere either too warm or where there was a large swing in temperature. The link below is to a vintage chart which assigns ratings to vintages in specific regions/varietals. Robert Parker generates the list and is one of the most respected wine experts in the world. That should give some idea of how good the wine is.

Sell it. All else is conjecture.
