Hi,
I have this bottle of vintage port that has been passed a couple of generations. I believe it has been stored on its back in a cool dry place. I was wondering what it is worth and what is the best way of selling it? Picture of bottle label attached.

Sadly, it’s not good news.
The wine you have is a tawny Port, that is to say a Port which is blended and bottled to meet demand and is intended to be drunk within a year or two of being purchased.
The bottle you have might be of value to an historian, or a curiosity for a Port lover.
The value is a guess. £20 perhaps?
