I have in my possession a bottle of Sandeman vintage 1977 port. It has both labels intact and also has written on the bottle "The silver Jubilee Sandeman 1977 Vintage Port".

For various reasons I would like to sell this bottle- not keen on the idea of sending it to auction, would prefer a private sale, I am aware it is not worth a fortune... would anyone be keen to offer me a price for it? or suggest a suitable price to accept?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to

Can you please tell us where you live and how/where the bottle has been stored?

Thanks
Derek

I recently purchased some at a belgian auction at 50 EUR/ bottle. It does not come up at continental auctions very often, but if you do want to sell it I would recommend to wait until the jubilee year 2017

The port and I are on the Suffolk/Cambs borders and it has been stored in a dark cool cupboard along with all the wine!

At best $70

In the USA, yup. And lately more like $50-55 at auction. Not a very valuable vp from this vintage.

I got four bottles at auction pretty cheap (in 2012?). It is not a blockbuster, but I happen to enjoy this wine quite a bit. Best in the month of October. Port for burgundy lovers.

In the US, folks getting this <80 are doing OK. At <60 they're getting a fair deal. <40, it's a no brainer.

hope that helps.
