10 x 75cl 1977 Dow's Silver Jubilee Vintage Port
Posted: 17:32 Tue 20 Jun 2017
Hello!
I was given a half-case of Dow's 1977 Queen's Silver Jubilee Vintage Port by my grandfather upon each of turning 18 and 21 (three years ago, and this year). I've drunk two of the bottles, but now am looking to sell the rest (10 bottles) as I definitely won't get through it, feel I don't enjoy it as much as it should be, and need the money.
They have been stored professionally for their entire lives up until I was sent them, from which point they have been stored horizontally in a cool dark cupboard with the rest of the wine in my parents' house, with little variation in temperature. All the bottles are in pretty much perfect condition - I'm having some trouble uploading pictures despite the helpful amateur's guide on the forum, but a quick search online for pictures of their contemporaries leads me to believe they literally haven't suffered any wear and tear at all.
So I was just looking for advice on whether to sell them to a wine merchant through just google searches or sell them on forums like this one - and if possible any suggestions of reasonable prices? Online they seem to vary a lot so I have little clue what is a good fetch.
Thank you for your help.
