It depends u may need to get it appraised or speak to a wine specialist. But most likely it wouldnt be worth much if the wine isnt in it. People normally collect wine not just the bottles.

As much as someone will pay for it. Try to ebay it see if anything comes up

1962 does not make it an antique ,1862 would ,but… put it on ebay and get what you can for it and figure about 50 bucks extra to ship it -good luck

If the original cork is at the bottom of the bottle, how did the wine keep itself from spilling? Any wine kept that has a damaged cork is probably worthless.

Nothing. Use it for plants. Empty wine bottles don’t get much value unless very old (at least 200 years) or have something intrinsic in their nature. An old Chianti bottle holds zero interest for collectors.
