    What a fantastic service! Max was in touch within 24 hours of my sending him some pictures and details of the wine I wished to sell. He made what I thought was a good offer. What I particularly appreciated was that this was the net sum … More - all other costs had been taken care of. Once I had agreed the deal he sent me suitable packaging material and arranged for it to be collected. The whole business was concluded within the week. I hope he makes a healthy profit - he deserves to!

    Great service from the moment I uploaded my wine pictures. Will communicated well and responded promptly. I was impressed with the efficient offer email and I was paid as soon as my wine had been checked albeit a slightly lower offer due … More to the condition of a couple of the bottles. A really good service. Highly recommend.
  • AvatarBarrie Blake★★★★★a month ago
    I had several cases of wine that I wanted to sell. I contacted Will at The London Wine Cellar gave him the relevent details and he then made me an offer. My wine was in bond and Will arranged for it to be moved to their own bonded warehouse. … More After inspection we agreed the price and the money was paid into my bank account the same day. The service provided was excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

    The London Wine Cellar made selling some unwanted Champagne really easy, the quote arrived quickly and my questions were all addressed promptly. The bottles were collected from my home with the courier bringing packaging for some loose … More bottles, packaging and collection both free. The money appeared in my account the following day.
    I would not hesitate to use this company again and highly recommend them.
  • AvatarRichard Horsey★★★★★4 months ago
    Phenomenal service. They provided what I considered a fair price for a cash purchase, and transferred the funds within hours of receiving my wines. Communication was excellent. I would definitely use this company again, and would recommend … More it to others - you may get slightly more at auction (but possibly not), but for a quick hassle free solution at a guaranteed price, this is the way to go.
  • AvatarEleanor Yankah★★★★★a month ago
    I've been thinking of selling this bottle for a while as I no longer drink and found The London Wine Cellar through a google search. At first I was a little apprehensive as you send the bottle off before receiving payment.
    In reality
    … More the whole process was seamless, their responses are quick and helpful, I'd even missed the courier collection they'd organised and they re-arranged for the following day and payment was within a couple of days of receipt of the bottle.
    You can use The London Wine Cellar with confidence and I would certainly recommend the service and would use them again!

Why sell with us?

1 Authority and expertise

Our team have decades worth of wine and spirit buying experience between us. We keep abreast of trends in the industry, understand the current market value of your wines and take pride in each valuation. Importantly, we don’t use automated processes to assess the value of your wine and never rely solely on other people’s data.

2 Efficiency and simplicity

With us you can receive a valuation to sell your wine online, using our contact form, via WhatsApp or in person. 95 percent of valuations will be made the same day, and even very large lists should take no more than 48 hours. If we cannot visit ourselves, we only ever send specialist wine couriers to collect your wines or spirits, and you’ll always receive payment the moment we have inspected the goods, in many cases the very same day.

3 We don’t cherry pick

It isn’t uncommon to receive a glossy proposal from a wine company to buy your entire cellar, enticing you in with great values next to all cases, but then when it comes to the transaction, the gems sell quickly but the chaff just sits there, eventually having to be repriced in the hope of getting a sale. In contrast, we are clear about wines that we cannot buy, and also which wines are tougher sales; making realistic cash offers rather than high-broking prices that never materialise.

4 Competitive pricing

We are passionate about valuing your wines and spirits and getting you a fair price. What’s more, the price we quote for your wines is the net amount you will receive. Unlike other wine dealers, there are no hidden costs and once we have seen the condition of your case or bottles the price is never subject to "negotiation" later on.

5 Convenient valuation and swift payments

We make it easy for you to get in touch with queries about the value of your wines; you can use our quick online form, upload your own list, drop us an email or you can even use WhatsApp to share a photograph of your bottles for a swift and accurate valuation. Our London-based drop in centre enables you to bring your wines and spirits to us directly in order to receive same day payment there and then.

6 Innovative and customer focused service

The London Wine Cellar is one of very few companies that outrightly purchase both wine and spirits and that can facilitate purchases of all sizes, up to and over £1 million on immediate settlement terms. We’re committed to finding a wine-selling or spirit-selling solution that works for you, whatever your unique requirements. In many cases, especially with higher value collections, we will send out one of our experts to quality-check your wine or spirits on site in person, in which case it’s possible for us to transfer your payment instantly, before we even load the van.
