"They say I used apostrophys wrong - fake news! Fake news. We have the best apostrophys, they just didnt understand what I said. Fake news, so sad." Is it childish to point out there's no "y" in apostrophe/apostrophes; or the missing punctuation in "didn't" when it's c...

Self-promoting drivel. 18 bottles of suspected fake whisky tested, 2/3 proven fake, story spun as 2/3 rare whiskies must be fake. All rare whisky should be carbon-dating-tested, says a person who is purported to get a commission from the company doing the carbon-dating testing. But draw your own con...

I'm aware of a number of Berisford sherries, bottled (possibly 1970s, due to stated units of measurements) from solera & criaderas systems established in the late 1800's/early 1900's - also shipped by Capital Wine & Travers Ltd, Harwich. So I might suspect Berisford to be a brand name - with...

5% Discount!? Most independents will give you more than that off, if you give them a good chat...

Received my 3 copies about 2 weeks ago; though received notification that they were on their way about 3 days ago... :? Though I'm in Perth, only a hour's drive from Glasgow where I think you'd said they were being published and despatched from, so would have to be a pretty lousy courier to damage b...

Sounds delicious, I'm interested!!!

Entering an old thread here... but was just about to post similar enquiry as I have received a bottle of Feist Cuvee 1951. Bottle front is block-stenciled "Porto Feist Cuvee 1951". From back label: Imported for the Italian market, barrel aged, bottled in 1973. Agree this to be a Tawny or C...

How ironic...

Can we get a couple of higher resolution images to look at more closely... There are a couple of high-resolution photos on this Lot page on our website: https://www.wineauctioneer.com/lot/3381/mystery-bottle-assumed-1910-vintage-port - Free to look and no obligation to register or bid. I think the ...

Everyone loves a good mystery, right? How about this mystery bottle then??? The only identifying mark is what remains of the number 10 to the right of the cap-seal, in worn orange-red wax - assumption is a 1910 Vintage Port. In the absence of jdaw 's new book, can anybody identify further??? :990066...

We use DHL a lot and have been told that something might come into effect in future - related to Brexit, and as with everything in this regards, nobody knows what situation will be and/or what will become full/normal practice. Have heard mention of a couple of queries, but very small minority of shi...

Ordered 3!

Hi Alphaarktos, Not to repeat my thread of posts (Selling Ports > Wine Auctioneer), but we conduct bimonthly online wine auctions. We do frequent collection trips down around London, on which we have a number of customers whom we meet at Newport Pagnell Services to uplift/drop-off wines. If you woul...

Dow's 1963 is one of those benchmark Ports against which other producers and vintages are judged. An outstanding year which continues to be enjoyed by the lucky few. www.wineauctioneer.com/lot/3380/dows-1963-vintage-port This bottle features the label for the London wine merchants Hedges & Butle...

AHB, how do you think I feel??? Surrounded by all these wonders in my physical presence every day (they tempt, they tease, they defy!)

Our September auction is now live and open to receive bidding until Monday 24th. I recall reading on another thread (Valuation??? By Golfbumm4life) about Niepoort's Garrafeira 1931 Port. Well, we have one in our auction, see it here - https://www.wineauctioneer.com/lot/3427/niepoort-1931-garrafeira-...

I recently joined the forum due to its overwhelmingly valuable source of information and clearly passionate group of Port lovers - this is definitely a forum I want to be engaged with! Upon then taking advice of JDAW1, we agreed that I start this thread of posts - which I hope everyone will find equ...

Hi Dave, Estimate is hammer price. We charge a £5/Lot listing fee and low 5% seller commission; and can assist with arranging courier for uplift and delivery to us.

Kopke's tasting room.

Close to Pont Luis I bridge, unobstructed view over Douro, best view of Porto, excellent vintage (and other) ports.

For the interest/temptation of anyone with exquisite taste (and deep pockets)... Released in 2014, this 130 year old Tawny Port is from one of only three remaining barrels, of the 1882 vintage, personally purchased by Andrew James Symington (founder of Symington Family Estates, Graham's parent compa...

DRT:

Hi Folks, To get the requisite disclaimer out the way first: I'm the director of Wine Auctioneer (www.wineauctioneer.com) - we launched in November 2017 offering bimonthly online wine auctions, regularly featuring swathes of interesting and mature Ports - so potentially a great place for members to ...

Hi Gus, I'm the director of Wine Auctioneer. We've sold a couple of Lots of Warre's 1977 Vintage Port (and have another Lot in current auction). Based on our sales history, I'd suggest likely selling price of approximately £50 per bottle. In terms of condition, labels do fall off, that's natural and...
