Right thing is I have this wine in my shop, initially it was just a show bottle as we have had it for a few years in my house and not drank it. Then last night this bloke walking past saw it in the window, double checked and came in and offered me £30 straight up whether it was corked or not.
Me smelling a rat says let me just have a bit of research about it and I will get back to you. But now I can't seem to find anything about it and would need some help, one as I can't read the bottle all too well as most of it is in French, and 2 I am hopeless with wines.
What I can tell you...
It is a Bordeaux
Made by Chateau Daliot
Made in 2001
It is Rouge
Has "appellation bordeaux controlee" written on it.
That's about as much as I can say really rest is in French, and I am hopeless!

Living in France, I have tried lots of the local production ... but have never come across this particular chateau.
Some research shows that it is not from one of the more prestigious regions (St Emilion, Medoc....). I can't find anything to suggest that it is a particularly good wine - it may not be bad, but it doesn't appear in the "grand cru" list, which tends towards the finer bottles, nor is it a bottle that received a medal for that year (often given to lesser wines after a good harvest).
So, in answer to your question... 30quid seems a decent offer... unless I have missed something.

Ahh right...
Ah well £30 it is then, not bad considering I got it for nothing.

I know nothing at all about wine but it must be expensive stuff for him to just offer you £30.
