Possibly Rare alcohol, I have no idea and I have questions as to what do do with it?

[Anonymous]

Forgive my ignorance I know nothing and I mean nothing about alcohol as I don't drink, never have. I came into possession of two things don't know if they are worth money at all and if so can I sell these anywhere? If not I'll toss them but they are a bottle from the Inauguration of Barack Obama from 2013. It's Icewine says Pillitteri Estates Winery product of Canada. The second is mostly in Chinese says "Moutai Distillery, Kweichhow, China, Produce of China 53%VOL 106 Proof"

Any advice of where to sell this or who what business if any would be interested in it please let me know, thanks!

I don't know who would want to buy a single bottle of anything from a stranger, but based on a simple Google search that is a nice wine. The baiju you might be able to sell because it's a niche product.

Since you don't drink I'd save both for host/hostess gifts if I had someone kind of fancy to impress.

Thank you for your response. Both are sealed and the wine sealed and boxed, I thought maybe since it was from the inauguration some one would be interested.

I don't think it's worth money, but don't toss it. Many people would want it for the low price of Free.99

As a Canadian who has spent lots (ahem,, too much) of time at Pilletteri and other nearby vineyards, the ice wine is lovely as an after dinner dessert, poured over ice cream, Mixed with tiny bit of brandy as a cocktail. I don’t think 2013 was a special year for ice wine, so it would depend on what bottle you have, but even the “reserve” is probably worth a while $30 Canadian. It’s a nice treat, but nothing important, and Pilleteri is not a hugely highbrow winery to start with.

You could offer it as an item at a school or non-profit silent auction

This is your best bet. Otherwise zero value.

Agree with the auction suggesting, or offer it up for free on your local list serv or FB Buy Nothing group.

The Chinese one is decent baijiu, but that's not saying much. It's a _very_ acquired taste. Most people won't drink the stuff.

How has the ice wine been stored? If it wasn’t kept in a cool place, it’s probably no good. I’ve had people give me nice wine they kept in a rack at room temp for years in their house, and it’s a roll of the dice when I’ve opened them up.
