Really there probably is no real value for any of those other than if someone is willing to pay for a bit of nostalgia. You might get the very odd rare bottle itself, but Crown and Alberta Springs is too generic and not collected among the high dollar whisky connoisseurs.

That doesn't mean throw it away or anything because it is worth nothing of course, but I would venture you would be getting lucky with someone who wants it for a display in their man cave and pay maybe double the value of a new bottle on a really good day, but realistically less...

Old beer, all of the same kind, barely anything other than again someone who wants a display bottle in a man cave, and even then those you see everywhere in antique malls and flea markets.

A bottle of Remy Martin cognac used to be $46.99 at SuperStore liquor. Now it's $49.99 but still a bargain price compared to some other stores. It's my favourite lubricant when tying flies at the bench.

I typically have a big Costco box of Bud Light in the garage freezer-good enough for most friends who stop by and the majority of my beer drinking which isn't much these days. Also a box of Stellas which I enjoy on occasion.

The rye of choice is Wisers, been that way since I was young when my step Dad's friend told me it was the way to go. He drank quite a bit of it so he must have been right.

Wine, most anything but not a huge Cab Sav fan, Malbec would be tops, especially with a nice venison or elk steak.
