How much is a bottle of Charles Heidsieck champagne 1959 worth?!


Question: How much is a bottle of Charles Heidsieck champagne 1959 worth?
The foil and labels are both completely undamaged with a small amount of discolouration. There is no sign of leakage although there is surface dirt on labels and the bottle.
At the bottom of the label it states Reserve for Great Britain
The wine looks very clear.

how would I go about selling it?

1959 was an outstanding vintage, one of the ripest on record. Charles Heidsieck is a house which in the last decade has become quite prominent in the last two decades. I would not be surprised to see that bottle draw bids of $100-$200 at auction.

LOL



I'm not sure how much it would be worth (hopefully someone else will know), but it's my understanding that you can't legally sell alcohol without some sort of permit. I have an old bottle of Dom Perignon that I was saving to eventually sell, but I was told at a wine-tasting convention that I might as well drink it because without a license, it would be illegal for me to sell it anyway. So I would look into the red tape involved with selling it first.



As a curio it may well be worth a few quid to a collector of old bottles. As for the contents, well, 59 wasn`t a particularly good year for Champagne, and so the wine will be undrinkable by now. Go to Charles Heidsieck`s web page and ask !



Perhaps £100. Try http://www.ancientandmodernwines.co.uk
