- musalone - 12-11-2003 I happened to stumble upon a bottle of 1947 Dom Perignon which I must absolutly have. What is a reasonable price to pay for a bottle of 1947 Dom Perignon(750ml)? Light scuffs on the label, but no biggie. I just want it to drink, not a big keep-sake guy. - Innkeeper - 12-11-2003 Hi Musalone, and welcome to the Wine Board. I see where you have bid $400 on it. I certainly wouldn't go much higher. Champagne doesn't improve over time. Granted the '47 was a great vintage. What I don't know is how it may have deteriorated. - musalone - 12-14-2003 Thanks for the welcome, and the info. Im looking at another bottle of Dom and it says theres about 2 oz of evaporation. Is that alot considering its about 40 years old, and how much will that affect the taste? - winoweenie - 12-14-2003 Welcome Mus....Run, don't walk from that sucker. Sounds like a leaky cork. Give the money to the Red Cross. At least yopu can write it off. WW [img]http://38.118.142.245/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] - musalone - 12-14-2003 hahah, thats for the advice.
