Port for sale

Post by Megan Wilson »

I have a bottle of vino do Porto garantia and would like to find out what it is worth. There is a number on the label - 750296 and one on the bottom of the bottle -1083.1

Sadly, neither of those numbers is terribly useful. The one on the "label" as you call it is probably the Selo de Guarantia, and those numbers are often not tracked by the producers once they've used the selo. The other on the bottom of the bottle is most likely something from the bottle manufacturer, which again isn't useful for trying to figure out what's in the bottle.

Unless there is another, larger label on the bottle it's going to be very difficult to identify it, and without identification its value is pretty close to zero.

Can you use a bright flashlight/torch to look at the cork through the neck of the bottle? Port often has important information branded into the cork, such as the producer and/or vintage.

And yes, pictures of the front and back of the bottle, as well as a clear picture of the top, might be useful.
