    I have a bottle of Cuvee Dom Perignon vintage 1992 that I got for a wedding present. I'm not a wine drinker and I was wondering is it worth anything and if it is were can I sell it?

    How long have you had it and has it been stored well, i.e. has it been kept in its box? If it has been exposed to direct light for a prolonged period of time it will have deteriorated.

    Just crack it open and enjoy it. Life's too short.

    Do it on a random Tuesday or Wednesday night after a sh'tty day at work. Otherwise you'll just build it up so much it'll be a disappointment.

    Probably undrinkable but try it. If you like it, drink it.

    Yeah, I think this is good advice too.

    That said, it's prob worth a few hundred quid. If you're skint, sell it.

    Like I said in my original thread I'm not a wine drinker I'd rather sell it and if it was worth anything have a good night out. So does anyone know where I could sell it?

    id say youd have to drink it yourself or pass it on as a gift

    dom isnt that rare, can buy it in o briens and in tescos! (for about 138euro) so unless you sell it to a mate or acquaintance at half that or less you wont shift it as they can buy it from a reputable retailer who they know has stored it properly etc

    there isnt a market for person to person wine trade as most are widely available through retailers

    DP is not just wine, its a way of life man. Get a box of strawberrys and crack it open with some fine lookin woman, even if she hates you, magic will happen.

    While the shops might stock DP, I doubt very much they'll have any of the 1992. Ask around some of the smaller fine wine shops; they might be interested in buying it. 92 was a pretty good vintage.
