Earlier today in a moment of madness I bought a case of Warres 1977 vintage port! I bought it from an industrial auction with the intention of selling it on.
My question is do you know how I can sell it without a licence?

Buyers of such things want proof of proper storage - which you don't have - I'd drink it if I were you.

Yeah very tempted. I assumed no providence but its coming from the liquidation of a wine store so I've assumed it has been stored properly. I already have an independent wine importer interested but thought I'd ask on here for other ideas.

I'd like to try some but its an unopened case and I imagine worth more like that.
