1. Which wine brands do you buy?

We primarily buy high-end, famous estate red wines, categorized as follows:

Romanée-Conti (DRC) Series

DRC is our core recycling category. We buy all Grand Cru wines:

• Romanée-Conti
• La Tâche
• Echézeaux
• Grands Echézeaux
• Montrachet
• Richebourg

Bordeaux First Growths

We buy all five First Growths:

• Lafite – The most in-demand famous estate in the Asian market, especially the 1982 vintage.
• Latour – Firm structure, excellent aging potential.
• Margaux – The most elegant of the First Growths.
• Mouton Rothschild – Annual label changes by artists, a collector's item in itself.
• Haut-Brion – The oldest estate among the First Growths.

Other Famous Estates

The following wines are also bought:

• Pétrus – The top estate in Pomerol, with vintages like 1982 and 1990 particularly sought after.
• Le Pin – A pioneer of Bordeaux "garage wines," produced in very small quantities.
• Ausone – One of the oldest famous estates on Bordeaux's Right Bank.
• Pavie – Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A, with prices rising significantly in recent years.

2. How are prices calculated?

Recycling prices primarily depend on four factors:

• Brand and Vintage – Classic great vintages from famous estates are naturally more valuable, while less popular vintages will be priced lower.
• Condition – The fill level, label condition, and integrity of the capsule directly impact the quote.
• Market Trends – We refer to Liv-ex international trading data and recent auction prices.
• Packaging Completeness – Wines with their original wooden cases (OWC) typically fetch better prices.

3. What is the recycling process?

Four steps, usually completed within one or two days:

1. Send photos and details of the wine via WhatsApp 9673 7259 or WeChat Sam96737259.
2. We will provide an initial quote after review.
3. Once both parties agree, we will arrange a time – we can collect the wine from your location, or you can drop it off at our store. Our service covers Hong Kong, Kowloon, New Territories, and Macau.
4. Upon on-site inspection and confirmation, payment will be made immediately in cash or via bank transfer.

4. Do you buy single bottles?

Yes, we do. We buy single bottles with no minimum limit. However, for larger quantities, the offer will be better as we can save on logistics and appraisal time. For high-value wines like DRC and Lafite, the single-bottle recycling price is already very favorable.

5. Do you still buy very old wines?

Yes, as long as they are well-preserved. Many older vintages are actually the most valuable, such as 1982 Lafite and 1990 Romanée-Conti, which have maintained stable market value. We recommend sending us photos directly for a quick valuation.
