B52 Bomber Port-collectable/value

Answer 1

Not being an appraiser of wines and port, I would estimate the B-52 Karrawirra Port's value to be at least $100 US.  I purchased my bottle from the winery while touring Australia in 1986, paying $36 US for it.I recently shared my biottlke and its contents with an old Ozzie friend and what a wonderful flavor.  I couldn't imagine sharing it any better way.  All boxes are labeled as #1 and are one of 500 bottles.  Since it is a limited edition, I doubt 250 bottles survive.  The corks are made of genuine cork and are extremely fragile, especially if the bottle wasn't stored on it's side.  The cork of my bottle fractured and granulated into the port unpon cork extration. The wax seal kept the port from spoiling.  Must be stored on its side.  I wouldn't mind another bottle, especially since I flew the B-52, but never in OZ.  [e-mail]
