If you had a rare old bottle of wine would you sell it or drink it? Why?

Question

Lets pretend it's worth $3000.

Answer 1

Drink it. Enjoy life while you have it...LIVE it. Saving the bottle is all well and good - as an investment, etc...blah, blah, blah. You COULD put it in your trusty secure wine cellar intending to save it for generations to come and thereby leaving your great-great-great-great-great grandchild a small fortune. OR you could find someone that means a lot to you (or do it alone - savor the moment), light a fire, grab some cheese and grapes, put on some soothing music and open that bad boy. (Suggested location: beachfront!) Pour a couple of glasses and just really enjoy every sip. Why not?? How many people get to experience wine that's worth, say $3,000?

Why? Do you have some you want to share? (:

Answer 2

If it is worth $3000, sell it. You will only find the good taste of the wine after you opened it. Rare and old in wine are not guarantees of a good wine. You don't want to open it and find out that you are drinking a bottle of VINEGAR that was worth $3000. Let the buyer find that out for himself and buy yourself a nice $100+ -dollar bottle of Dom Perignon or any wine you like and enjoy. You still win and will have $2800 to spare.

Answer 3

I love wine. But because of my upbringing, I have been exposed to $20.00 bottles as opposed to $100.00 bottles.

The finest wine I have ever had is Silver Oak out of California. They have a great Cabernet that can be had for around $100.00 a bottle. But this has been rare for me to be exposed to this quality of wine.

That being said, I would sell the bottle. Invest $2500.00 in a mutual fund. Then I could buy ten $50.00 bottles of wine and I would be way ahead.

Answer 4

Tough call. I love wine and collect all that I can. Depending on whether or not I was hard up for money. If I needed the money bad I would sell it. But as long as I was financially comfortable and I could share it with someone who would truely appreciate it, I would drink it. You only live once, you mine as well live like a king (or queen).

Answer 5

sell it...

I'm not a wine fanatic so I would want the cash, and who's to say I'd like the taste of that particular wine anyway

plus with 3000$ I could finally go to Italy....and the wine's cheaper there...good enough for me

Answer 6

The nice-wine marketplace, like all collectibles marketplace, is extremely risky. in the tip the linked fee of any merchandise - be it wine, postage stamps or classic autos - relies upon fullyyt on what creditors are arranged to pay on the time. My advice? Have a advantageous meal and drink the bubbly; permit's settle for it, that's what it became made for.

Answer 7

I actually buy, and sell wine for my job. If it is over 25 years old, or was not stored properly its undrinkable. If you open it then its worthless. Sell it for what you can, and buy a full case of discontinued wine. in 10 years it will be priceless.

Answer 8

If you have money drink it. If money is tight sell it and get a less expensive wine to drink. Just because it is old doesn't mean it is good.

Answer 9

lets see.... If it were me I don't drink whine, so it was either given to me or I bought it as an investment.(a strange thing to do but not crazy.) I might keep it for a REALLY GOOD friend or sell it again a few years later (then it'd be worth 10,000 :)

Answer 10

You would have to ask yourself the quest.'s did you buy it for that much; did u ever drink something of that price and if u had would it benefit in you're conversation in your circle to have had.
If bought it to drink it then do so; if acquired it then save it as long as the value of how you acquired it or from. Sell it if theres no emotional attachments.
