The Finer Details
We will need to view and assess the physical condition of all wines. After the physical assessment we’ll give you a final valuation.
Agree a Reserve
We will work with you to confirm which wines you’d like us to sell. We will need to agree with you a ‘Reserve’. This is your ‘safety net’, a minimum price that you’d want us to sell your wines for.
Confirmation
We will email you a Consignment Contract which will need to be signed and sent back to us.
We’ll look after your wine.
There’s more information on how to get your wines to us on our Consign My Wines Page . At least one month before the auction we will need to get your wines to our warehouse, London City Bond Tilbury. You can either arrange delivery yourself, or we can organise London City Bond to collect.
The Auction
After a successful sale at auction, you’ll receive your money, less any fees, within 34 days.
Fees
There’s nothing to pay upfront, the costs incurred by selling wines at auction are taken from the ‘Hammer Price’ at the end of the auction. We’ll deduct our agreed commission and any fees. Please see full T’s & C’s or contact us and we’ll talk you through every step.
What if my wine doesn’t sell?
There are a few options:
- Carry over until our next auction. The easiest thing to do. There are no further fees to pay and we’ll keep hold of your wine. We’ll also offer any pricing advice based on the outcome of the initial auction.
- Sell through our retail partners. We have partnerships with an independent Wine Merchant in the UK and we’ll work with them to sell the wine on your behalf to meet your reserve.
- We’ll make you an offer. If we are interested, we will make you an offer and buy the wine from you directly.
- Take your wine back. We’ll deliver your wine back to you in the same condition it arrived in. You are still liable for any fees occurred through listing your wines.
