Ferreira 1977 Vintage Port

Post by Andrew1958 »

My father laid down 12 bottles of the above in December 1985 for my son. It has been moved just once since then and is kept under the stairs.
There are 11 bottles now as we drank one on the occasion of my sons 21st.
We are in two minds, do we sell or keep it? We understand the current value is between £80-£100
Would very much appreciate any advice.

Moved to the Selling Port section.

Hello and welcome. To sell or not to sell, that is the question. This post might help.

The current retail price is around £80-100 but as a seller you would expect to be able net around half of that through a broker, retailer, auction or private sale. I would suggest that 11 bottles of Ferreira 1977 would be likely to net you a total of £400-500. If you let us know where you are in the country we could probably point you in the direction of a local auction house who would be able to help you to sell the bottles.
