They keep calling me, sending just basic brochure on the wines investissement market, but this is always copies of press announcements and general market results as Sotheby's auctions wine expanding market, but unfortunately not linked to the results of their own company, which annoys me a lot? They keep calling me with hard pressure to leave a deposit and make my mind, but I don't like this way to deal, having the bad feeling they are leading the deal, not me ! Quite persuasive, but bad feeling at the endXavierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929867829401129051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567042805993048802.post-3075162355680967432019-01-16T18:42:32.451+00:002019-01-16T18:42:32.451+00:00What vintage of Angelus please?

Certainly a look at wine-searcher shows that these prices are decidedly optimistic and would probably explain why your wines are still on sale.<br /><br />Both the 2005 Margaux and 2009 Haut-Brion can be bought for £3000 per 6, although Berry Bros & Rudd show the Haut Brion at £4080. The 24 halves of 2009 d'Yquem ca be purchased for £3900.

Look at the Liv-ex indices, which will confirm this. <br /><br />Do you have to sell through Moncharm? Would it be worth trying other brokers/merchants, although it does illustrate that while wine is liquid in the bottle it is not necessarily a liquid asset.
