How do you get  a wine valuation?

To provide an accurate offer, we just need a few details – including the wine name, vintage, quantity, and format. Once we have that, our team will create a personalised, line-by-line valuation, showing exactly what we’d pay for each bottle or case.

There are several easy ways to share your wine list with us:

Once received, a member of our experienced Buying Team will review your list and come back to you with an itemised offer – no obligation, no pressure.

Getting your wine to us

For offers over £200, we take care of all of the logistics at our cost. Whether this means sending you protective packaging and a pre-paid return label with DHL, using our specialist hand-courier, or instructing your merchant to transfer the wines to our bonded warehouse, our logistics team will send you detailed instructions for how best to proceed.

For offers between £100-£200, we’ll email you a pre-paid collection label to print out, and below £100 we will contribute £5 towards your P&P costs.

You can also drop your wines off at our warehouse, we just need to agree a suitable time with you in advance.

When do I receive payment for my wine?

We check Duty Paid stock into our London warehouse within 24hrs of receipt. If stock is in good order, you are then added to our next payment run (usually the day after physical receipt). If there are any issues, we will contact you to explain the issue and how it would affect the price. You can then choose to proceed, or to have the wine returned to you at our cost, so there is no risk to you.

In bond stock is paid for as soon as we have condition reports back from the bond.
