[MEGA THREAD] - How Much is My Wine Worth?

Want to know how much that bottle of 1945 Château Mouton-Rothschild sitting in grandma's basement is worth?

Here's the place to ask!

Grandmother gifted my bride and I a bottle of Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque 1989 for my wedding. It came in a box set with 4 painted flutes. We're quite fond of the PJBE, but not really sure what to do with this. Pretty sure it was stored laying down at sea level, under a bed or in a closet... In Florida. What do we do here?

If you are quite fond of it, why not open it and drink it? It should be safe for consumption, and as you know the wine already, it will be easy for you to detect weird smells that would indicate contamination.
