- Jemima - 09-19-2004 Hi, While clearing out my grandmothers house, we came across a bottle (78cl) of Krug Champagne Vintage 1971. I was just wondering if this was a good year and possibly valuable? If not, a party is on the way! Any help anyone could give would be grateful. - winoweenie - 09-19-2004 Hi Jemima and welcome to the board. 81 wasn't a bad but not an exceptional year. The bottle would probably retail in the 100-150 range if it had proper storage. It's extremely difficult to sell single bottles so I suggest get your significant toher and PARTY!! WW - Jemima - 09-19-2004 Thanks! - wineguruchgo - 09-19-2004 Weenie, She said 71 not 81. Typo on your part? - Thomas - 09-19-2004 No Guru, he jes cain't bear to think that fer back... - Jemima - 09-19-2004 Hi I took it as a typo! Don't suppose it makes a difference though does it? Thanks anyway! - winoweenie - 09-19-2004 Twere thre ole fat-fingers at work agin'. WW - Zinner - 09-21-2004 I went to a luncheon in San Francisco one time put on by Moet that featured old vintages of their Champagne. One of the questions I put to their expert was about the value of old Champagnes and he said there's not much of a market for them, so he couldn't assign a value. Apparently the collectors go after other types of wine when they're buying old vintages. But have fun drinking it. Some of the older stuff we had was delicious. |
