Material
Standard glass wine/champagne bottle with a metallic gold-tone vapor-deposited film coating and silk-screened graphics.
Condition
Good (Empty); the metallic gold finish is intact, but because the bottle is open/empty, it is valued strictly as a collectible vessel rather than a consumer beverage.
Demand Level
Moderate to Low (Seasonal); demand peaks around July 4th or patriotic holidays. Currently a niche item until the 2026 anniversary approaches.

Description
Limted edition Korbel California Champagne bottle released to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States (America250). This striking 750ml bottle features a reflective mirror-gold finish with vibrant red and blue graphics including the 'America 250' logo. Ideal for patriotic decor, July 4th celebrations, or bar cart displays. Note: This is an empty bottle for decorative use.
Key Features
Highly reflective gold aesthetics; patriotic 'America 250' branding; limited production run for the US Semiquincentennial; visually impactful for bar decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Standard Korbel bottle shape and embossed glass markings on the bottom; official America250 licensed styling. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Bottle is open/consumer, liquid removed. Minor potential for scuffing on the gold metallic wrap which is prone to fingerprints and scratches. No cork or foil wrap remaining on the neck.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for collectibles), Facebook Marketplace (local pick up to avoid shipping costs), or Etsy (if marketed as a 'supplies' item for upcycling into a lamp).
Selling Tips
Market this as a 'Bar Cart Decor' or 'Patriotic Centerpiece' rather than just an empty bottle. Use keywords like 'Semiquincentennial', 'Gold Bottle', and 'July 4th Decor'. If selling on eBay, emphasize the limited edition nature. Be careful to clarify it is EMPTY to comply with alcohol shipping regulations.
