Hi there,
I am looking to sell three bottles of Port as I will not use.
All three bottles are unopened.
One of the bottles also has a box.
I have for sale;
Taylor’s 2013 bottled vintage
Taylor’s 2014 bottled vintage
Warres warrior special reserve.

The bottles are located in Bristol UK, willing to post.
Looking for £25 for all three bottles plus postage which depending on location will be around £7.

Please let me know if interested.
Thanks
Rich

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you are unlikely to sell these Ports.

Late Bottled Vintage Port like these and Reserve Ruby Ports are pretty common. They are intended to be drunk young although they can be kept for a while. They are both made in large quantities and can generally be found quite easily.

Your suggested price is not unreasonable when compared to prices in a supermarket or online, but I think there just isn’t the interest in the secondary market for these bottles.

If you were to put them into auction, you might get £5 in total for the three bottles.

Assuming no one comes forward with an offer, your best bet might be to use them as gifts at Christmas.
