A bit about ourselves

We specialise in buying private collections of fine wines & spirits from members of the public

Over the past 12 years, we’ve built one of the UK’s most trusted platforms for private sellers – offering a faster, more competitive, and more secure alternative to auctions, brokers, or consignment sales.

Unlike many others in the market, we are direct buyers, not brokers. This means we purchase your bottles outright – no waiting, no middlemen, and no hidden fees. All wines listed through our sister company, Hatton & Edwards Fine Wine, are part of our own stock and ready for immediate dispatch.

Because we buy almost exclusively from the secondary market, we are not tied to producers or allocations. This independence allows us to be dynamic with our pricing and consistently offer some of the most competitive prices in the market.

With a large in-house team and our own trained, insured drivers, we handle logistics with care and precision. Whether your wine is stored at home, in bond, or abroad, we offer flexible and professional collection solutions, ensuring your bottles are handled properly from the moment they leave your care.

Our purpose-built wine warehouse in North London – with additional facilities on the way – allows us to check in stock quickly, turn around condition reports efficiently, and make payment promptly. Everything is managed in-house, giving us total control, and giving you complete peace of mind.

For private collectors looking to sell fine wine or whisky, The London Wine Cellar offers a proven, streamlined, and highly trusted route to sale – with better prices, smarter logistics, and no compromises.

Our promise to you

We pride ourselves on offering accurate, competitive valuations for fine wine and spirits – with no hidden fees or delays. However,  it’s possible you may receive a higher offer elsewhere, if you do, please do communicate this with us, we’ll happily match any verified like-for-like quote as part of our Price Match Guarantee.
