I found some old vintage wine bottles from my old man and tried to do online search by nothing showing up, would these be worth a fortune?

Thanks, i wad considering ebay or gumtree at one stage and the fact nothing is showing on google is a little frustrating.
Ebay fbm and gumtree will pull your ad if they spot it
There's no chance that would be drinkable since they clearly haven't been cellared, and in any case most wines don't in fact get better with age, most retail wine is designed to drink either now or within a couple of years and thereafter they will decline in quality.
The only value would be in the bottles themselves, which might be worth something in the antiques market, but probably not.
Yes and no. Cellaring helps to a certain degree and then the wine quality does drop off.
Pretty sure that's what I said?
I was just disputing your “most wines” comment. We have a wine cabinet and with Stelvins we find many of our wines do tend to improve with a few years of cellaring. It just depends on what the drinker prefers in a wine, because they change characteristics with age. However, if someone is into NZ Sauvignon Blancs then nothing can help them:)
I remember that bottle on the left, with the cups, from my childhood. It may have been a brunette though? It was in my folk's bar, therefore I'd be pretty confident it's pure kitsch and otherwise worthless.
No idea mate i can take a couple more screen shots, i always thought any old wine had alot of value tho i never drink myself
Only if it was made to be cellared and has been cellared properly.
I take a punt on old wines every now and again, usually pay next to nothing for them. Your ones will sell to someone interested in something interesting but not for the wine itself, it will taste like arse.
Tis some fancy looking red wine vinegar :)
Doubt it'll be of any value to a collector. Contents is most likely undrinkable and the bottles itself while unique probably isn't worth getting valued at Langtons or Wickmans. All because it is "old" doesn't really make it valuable. Estimating value VS what a person is willing to pay are 2 entirely different things.
From way back in 1979, those things could be worth a fortune! The only limit for the number of them left in the world today is however many they made at the time and since.
There is no way a serious vintage would be put into bottles like that. AngoraFish linked above the exact bottle, its worth about $40 if you can find someone to buy it. May as well leave the wine in it (unless you are shipping it) but its worth nothing
Old wine is pretty much like old cars, except worse. 99% of old wine is crap and undrinkable and worth nothing. 1% of it was designed to be aged and if its been aged properly, is now worth some money. However, neither of these were designed to be aged. Just like 99% of old cars are just old (but have the benefit that perhaps can still be driven, unlike old wine). 1% of old cars are now potentially 'vintage', but only if they have been looked after.
A 1979 Romanee Conti is worth a fortune.
These are worthless
Pretty much acid/vinegar by now.
Unless it was sitting in a cave for 30/40 years it's only value is the bottle and it doesn't look like an overly valuable bottle.
You'd have to take it to an auction house to value.
Without a liquor licence you can't sell it yourself.
Not a wine expert but they look more like novelty than fine wine. Saying that novelty can be worth a lot - who knows.
