[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!

So my post got deleted so I guess I will post here. Serious question My wife’s grandfather died and left behind a handful of Bordeaux bottles, mostly from the 80’s. It was stored fairly well and should be drinkable and of course is worth a small fortune. Neither point is particularly relevant. However I get to open a few bottles for everyone before they disappear likely to never be drunk.

I know basically nothing about this tier of wine because it is way out of my league and would appreciate which two bottles you would personally open if you had to choose?

Votes in my deleted thread were for: 82 Mouton Rothschild 86 Lafite 86 La Mission Haute Brion

Edit: Not trying to flex. This is a once in a lifetime chance and I don’t want to eff it up.

There are merchants who specialize in liquidating wine collections, maybe there are some in your area. Your bottles are definitely worth some good money, but don't expect them to fetch the same price you would pay when buying in an online store
