How much is this bottle of wine worth?

I have a 1966 Bordeaux Red Wine
Label reads:

Carruades de Chateau Lafite-Rothschild
Appellation Pauillac Controlee
Mis en Bouteilles Au Chateau
Produce of France
Shipped by: Grancru S. A. Bordeaux
Imported by Chateau & Estate Wines Company
New York N.Y.
Contents: 1 pint 8.5 Fl. Oz. Alcohol 12% by volume

You can buy this wine retail for $125 (from Exclusive Imports, Inc in Beverly Hills CA), so it is unlikely that anyone would pay you more than that.

I appreciate that you showed ALL theinformation from the label. You wouldn't believe how many people ask questions without given enough information.

This wine (75cl, not a half bottle) is the 'second' label of the much morefamous and expensive Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. That is, it is made from the wine that wasn't considered good enough for the main label.

How much the wine is actually worth really depends on 'provenenance' -- evidence that the wine is the real thing and not a bottle of Mouton Cadet with a computer generated phony label stuck on it, or a genuine empty bottle refilled with plonk, and that it has been kept in ideal conditions for the past 40 years.
