Instant Wine Valuation

Our approach to valuing fine wines combines our own trading data alongside insights from various reputable sources, including Liv-Ex, global auction results, plus global listings on websites such as Wine Searcher. This comprehensive method ensures a fair and accurate valuation for your collection.

The condition and provenance of a vintage wine can affect its valuation. Wine with good provenance and storage history can attract a premium. Fine wine should ideally be stored at a constant cool temperature, at 60% humidity with the absence of sunlight and vibrations. Bottles can tell their storage story through the form of ullage, raised or sunken corks, leaking, colour drop, and of course the label’s condition.

Whether your collection consists of hundreds of cases in a bonded warehouse, thousands of home-cellared loose bottles, or even a single special bottle, we can provide you with a valuation for your wine.

Please note that this initial estimate is for informational purposes because we believe in transparency for the seller and does not represent a final offer. Rest assured; your confirmed purchase offer will be sent to you within 48 hours.

Definitely! We’re confident our prices are hard to beat, but if you find a higher offer, we’re open to discussion. Sometimes, offers may seem too good to be true due to unrealistic auction or broking estimates. However, if it is a like-for-like offer, then you can rely on our price-match guarantee to ensure that you get the best deal overall. This way, you won’t have to rely on uncertain auction or broking outcomes, knowing your price is secure.

We typically propose a direct cash offer to promptly purchase your wines for stock. However, if we determine that a broking strategy could enhance your sale price, we’ll suggest this path.

Opting for broking means benefiting from our advanced storage solutions, professional photography facilities, and proactive marketing through our renowned merchant arm, Hatton & Edwards. There might be occasions where we recommend a mixed approach for optimal results. For example, we could directly purchase 80% of your collection for our stock, while listing the remaining 20% through our broking service. This strategy is designed to secure the highest possible price for your wine, combining the immediacy of a cash sale with the potential for potentially higher prices on select wines via broking.
