I have a very old bottle of wine and I’m wondering if anybody could tell me how valuable it is?

Vegas Guy asked:

The bottle is cream in color and it almost has a marble look to it. It is in the shape of a one liter bottle of soda with a flat bottom to it. On the bottom of the bottle has a maroon colored stamp that has a very large "M" and words around it that reads "MARACA REP. S. ARINO". The name on the lable says "INGA", and it was produced and bottled in Italy. The type of wine is Vino Crema Marsala. In addition, this bottle was Imported by VINTAGE WINES, INC. in New York C. 19. The bottle is 1 pint, 7 fl. oz., with 18% alcohol by volume. The lable on this bottle is a dark green in color with a white border around it, and has a simple pea green center which kind of resembles the shape of a badge. This lable seems to appear very old and very plain and simple. Also, there is Italian writing on the bottom part of the center of the lable that reads "INGA E C.S.A SERRAVALLE SCRIVIA (ITALY)". There is no date anywhere on this bottle. Anybody know anything about this bottle of wine?

    Take it to a wine store in your area. They are experts, they can give you the information.

    I couldn’t find anything on this specific bottle, but I am confident it is worth little if anything. First Marsala is not a very expensive or collectible wine to begin with. Second, since it has no date on the bottle, it is not even a vintage wine, and therefore of lower quality. Third, it likely has not been stored properly (temperature and humidity controlled conditions), and proper storage is critical when selling older wines. Sorry.

    Marsala is from Spain not Italy.

    If there’s no date (meaning not vintage) than it isn’t worth much. As another poster stated, marsala isn’t worth much anyway. Your best bet, if you like that sort of thing, is to open it and try a small sip. If it hasn’t spoiled (sour and very alcoholic taste), then you could drink it.

    It is Republic San Marino.

    Is it the same as this one on eBay?

    Old wines are not valuable just because they are old. This has no interest for a wine lover.
