I have 4 bottles of 1990 Dom Perigon, Should I sell them or hang on to them for a special occasion(wedding)?

Question

And If I should decide to sell them, how do I get the best price for them?

Answer 1

First I would recommend that if you choice to save them you make sure you maintain them in a safe and appropriate method.  That means that you ensure they do not loss their value by allowing items like heat or other issues to damage them.  Now the other answer is up to you.

Answer 2

I suggest selling them if you can.  There are plenty of fantastic champagnes that cost much less than these are worth and you can get those for weddings, etc.  Even if you bought a younger Dom you would enjoy it and make money on these.

Answer 3

It depends on how financially stable you are. If you truly need the money, then sure sell them. If not, enjoy them yourself, a great glass of wine can be a truly awesome feeling. My opinion, keep it. I don't want to encourage to sell it, I'd rather see you buzzed and enjoying a good, special occasion. Have Fun & Drink Safe!

Answer 4

It's a great vintage and it looks like current retail is about $250 a bottle. That being said, I really don't know how an "average joe" can go about selling their wine. There are so many liquor laws that vary hugely from state to state. I doubt you have enough to try to sell through a wine store. And unless you've had them properly cellared, I doubt many people would take a risk on them.

I say store them properly and enjoy whenever you get the opportunity - it's an opportunity a whole lot of less lucky folks will never get to have!

Answer 5

I'll take one :)
