A SPECIALIST in collectible whisky, wine and port is offering a double measure of free valuations in Lichfield this month.
Robert French will be at The Auction Cafe on Market Street between 9.30am and 12.30pm on 23rd September and at The Lichfield Auction Centre, on Wood End Lane in Fradley Park, between 10am and 2pm on 30th September.
The free drop-in events are a chance to consign individual bottles and whole collections for Richard Winterton Auctioneers' big pre-Christmas wine and whisky sale on 7th December.
Robert said:
"Whisky, wine and port are popular luxury investments with a strong market at auction.
"For example, Scottish single malts squirrelled away in the 1970s could be worth four figures today, with bottles from low-yielding batches and distilleries no longer producing – so-called 'silent' or 'lost' distilleries – perennial favourites of connoisseurs and collectors.
"Likewise, fine wine and port can also do extremely well at auction so it's important to get a proper valuation.
"These two valuation events are the perfect opportunity to consign anything from individual bottles to whole collections for our big pre-Christmas whisky and wine auction in December.
"If you have a mystery bottle, bring it along and let us see if you've struck liquid gold."
