Featured Vintage Liquor bottles ~ Full! What to do with them...

I've collected a box full of Liquor from the cellar of this estate, as well as some beautiful decanters/demijohns. Some have value [1983 Louis Roederer Cristal], some I can't seem to identify ["Ravel" Sweet Lisbon red grape wine -no date].
I will post photos shortly, but my question is, How to sell them? How do I store them in the meantime? I don't have a cellar like they did.
Thank you much for any help

 

Seems most liquor would never go bad but I don't know this for certain.
Wine does.
I'm sure there are auctions that are just for or include such so you'll have to look.

 

Thanks King! I just acquired these so I'm searching. Does liquor/wine/champagne go bad if never opened? The Cristal is sealed and in it's original box. I worry that it will spoil in my possession [if it hasn't already].
Any advice on where/how to keep them safe?
I'll post pictures later ~ I believe the Sweet Lisbon wine may date back to the 1930's, and it's full!

 

Yes, no guarantee any are still drinkable but you can't be sure until they're opened. Store in cool place, out of direct sunlight, with bottles on their sides/at a slant so corks stay moist. "Sweet" Lisbon wine is most likely a Port or a Madeira. With unknown label, may not be of great interest to collectors.

Take is back... Little internet research... "Sweet Lisbon wine" is likely to be a low quality table wine. A fiasco or figural bottle will prove it.

There is a possible plus for the Lisbon if its age is from during Prohibition.
Not sure if anything not made in the USA is a factor.

 

Strong booze , stops ageing once bottled and can last for a very long time.
If the glass is lead crystal though.....the lead has been known to leach into the liquid.
Wines have a shelf life.....some are meant to drink right away.....others are longer lasting if they have been kept properly.

 

Will do! Thank you.
I will take the pics. The Lisbon is a painted figure of a man. Paper label at the bottle says 'product of Portugal' 'Bottled & shipped by Joaquim Antonio DA Silveiral' 'Imported by John Lawrence Co. LTD. West Orange NJ'.
I'm very curious about him because so far the only related items I've been able to find date back that far.
I'll stop yapping, and get to taking pictures so you can see
Thank you Thank you

 

I'm pretty sure they were kept properly at the Estate. With Me? I'm not confident. That's why I rushed to ask. Thank you all for the input!
There's just too much stuff...

 

There is never too much stuff...........if it's good stuff !!!

 

The champagne is probably undrinkable by now, but I'll bet the port is fine. You can't sell these yourself without a liquor license, at least in my state. An auction house can though, no problem.

 

I have a small collection of wines........I kept them as good as I could....in the dark.....dry as possible.........they're all vinegar now......

 

Into your stew pot they go! Dead red makes great beef stew.

 

There's also a bottle of Johnny Walker Red, Kahlua, & Jack Daniels. All unopened in their boxes.
The Jack Daniels I'll keep

 

The Lisbon sweet red is in novelty bottle then. Examples can be found on internet. Costume will be regional. Possible some might be of greater interest than others to collectors, if any at all.

Nothing that I see looks particularly valuable. Check your champagne carefully; that's a modern bottle & label. Date likely the establishment of house. It, and others, look to date from the 1970s.

So I'd be more successful in selling [even if for a couple dollars] if I emptied the bottle? Because I can't sell it full.

 

Of the four bottles, I don't see anything particularly salable. The CHRISTIAN BROTHERS brandy and DEKUPYER crème de menthe may well be drinkable. Those were mass brands and doubt collectors out there. The Lisbon sweet wine is sure to be undrinkable as it was an inexpensive table wine in its day. At the right price, bottle may be of interest to someone. The champagne may/may not be drinkable. (And, apologies. I thought you wrote 1893 not 1993. I've obviously been putting off those reading glasses I've long been promising to buy!)

I thank you Debora. I'll see what I can do with this stuff. I surely can't keep it all [running out of space]

 

Not to throw water on your flames, hemster, but I *think* you have to have a special license to sell anything alcoholic. ??

And even if there were some kind of loophole, it can't be shipped by the postal service. Emptying the collectible bottles solves both issues.

And yes, even liquor goes bad after a while.
