estimate on how much a bottle is worth

[ginbauer]

My husband and I received a bottle of 1981 St-Louis Beaujolais 20 years ago, has never been opened, and was curious as to how much it might be worth. Any idea? Many thanks.

Hi Ginbauer, and welcome to the Wine Board. Beaujolais is a light red that has a lifespan of five years or so at most. Even better crafted Cru Beaujolais such as Moulin-a-Vent will hold no longer that ten or twelve years. So, the answer to your question is zero. The next question is how to best dispose of it. Depending on what material your drains are made of, that might be the best approach.
