Hi there! Wondering if anyone can help us figure out a fair value for 3 Mumm Cuvee Brut Prestige Jeroboams that are signed by the winemaker and the VP that we won at a fundraising event in town. The entire raffle prize was a wine refridgerator filled with 47 bottles of various napa wines and these 3 signed jeroboams from Mumms.

We are keeping at least 1 of the 3 bottles but my husband would like to actually do a silent auction on the other two and donate the money back to the group we got them from..but we have no idea where to start.

Does having the winemaker's sig and the VP's sig add to the value? I know this Mumm's in regular size(750ml)is about $15-18 per bottle.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these type of items.

If you are interested in selling the wine fridge/cellar, I would be more than interested in buying it.

$15-$18 for Mumm Champagne? Really? I would have thought that $30 would be more like the normal price or are we talking Cali Sparkler rather than Champagne. Either way you always pay a bit more for the larger sizes and a signature is only important to some people. Congratulations anyway and welcome to the site.

I work for Mumm Napa and checked on the price which is $120 per Jeroboam without the signatures. The Champagne/California Sparkling Jeroboam is equivalent to 4 bottles. In a still wine situation a 3.0L is called a Double Magnum and 6.0L is a Jeroboam. Yes it is confusing! I hope this helps and congrats on your winning auction lot!
