What may be the value of a bottle of Chardonnay or Chablis of 2001 vintage, produced by a small wine company?!
I admit I know close to nothing about wine but curious how I can get an estimate, at least an approximate one, of such bottle's value provided that wine is still ok to drink and it tastes good.
Answers: I came across a few bottles, the wine seems to have lighter color in one, and darker color in the others, each bottle has only a small lable with the date of bottling, conpany's name and a bar code.

Try this calculator. I used it to value some old french wines I sold last year.
Of course you never really know if it's good until you open it...the risk you take with any wine.
Good luck!
EDIT: You're welcome. I have two more sites if that one's no help. Feel free to email if you like and I'll find them for you. :-)
If its from a north american winery about 10 to 15 dollars any where else maybe 20 tops
not that much unless it was from a top chateaux and even then not more than $ 50 t0 60 and that would be for a premier cru from a top wine producer as the white wines from burgundy tend not to get top dollar as you say over there
You have to tell us the name or you can use the web to research the name and find a review. Chardonnay sells from about $5 to several hundred $s depending on who made it and which vintage it is.

If all the bottles are the same maker and vintage and one of them is turning brown it probably means that they are all suspect at this point. Generally white wines do not improve beyond about 5 years and don't appreciate in value unless there is something really historic about them.
You do not mention how they have been kept. If they have been kept in the dark at about 55 then you have some hope. If they were on a regular shelf subject to light and temperature changes then you are probably in trouble.
Good Luck
