I found five bottles of wine at a sell. Did I find anything good? I know nothing about wine just bought them on chance. They are full and sealed.
Antinori 1967
Bianco Della costa toscana in Green fish bottles.
Julius Wile and sons.
Don’t bother. There’s no value.
Antinori is a very old, important, and very big Italian wine producer. Though I’m not incredibly knowledgeable in older Italian wines, I’d guess these were produced as ordinary white table wine. The wines are likely shot, undrinkable. However, someone might have some interest in them as “historical relics.” Considering their age, the bottles and labels look to be in decent shape. Might try dusting them off and posting on Commerce Corner.

Someone a while back on here bought some questionable provenance bottles off Craigslist and opened each one by one with tasting notes. Maybe you could do the same.
Maybe if they was whiskey 
At $5 for the lot it’s worth the risk
Vivino LOVES an Antinori wine, called “Bianco della Costa Toscana”:

They’ve got tasting notes going back as far as the 1990 vintage.
4.6 on 51 ratings is solidly 95+ on a 100-point scale
Apparently these wines turn reddish over the years?
Many of the notes at Cellar Tracker, for an Antinori wine, called “Bianco Toscana”, seem to be describing a red wine.

If the guys at Vivino know what they’re talking about [and it seems like they do], then of your six bottles, if you get really lucky, maybe one or two might be interesting.
Chill a few for Thanksgiving or Christmas, and see if you can coax something special out of at least one bottle.
You’d probably wanna research Francois Audouze’s old notes on slow-oxygenating these wines.
It’s entirely possible that a wine could present as something akin to vinegar upon opening, but six or eight or twelve hours later, that same wine [with air] might no longer be an ugly duckling.
I suppose it could be a coordinated effort to “punk” or “felt” a bunch of wine snobs, and, if so, then they did a good job of coordinating the effort.
But I’d be interested to learn more about a white wine which turns red over the years.
I don’t drink wine, just wondering if they’re worth anything?
We know one guy who thinks they are worth $5

Paul, as wine, they are worth nothing (literally).
Thanks, I understand. It was worth the shot. Cool old bottles anyway.
That was me but it was a super random/rare find with the awesome 74 CDV and 64 Montrachet. Still have a '74 Clos du Val and a few other mystery wines from that lot saving to drink with family (or drain pour).
