Seller's Guide

The value of a bottle can change based on supply and demand, so it’s important to get an up-to-date valuation. At Wine Auctioneer, we provide accurate valuations based on the latest market trends.

For a free, no-obligation valuation, simply complete our quick and easy Seller Form, and we'll get back to you with an estimate.

If your item does not meet the reserve price, the listing fee and reserve fee will still apply.

You can choose to re-list the item (subject to fees) or discuss having the bottle returned to you (subject to delivery charges).

Wine Auctioneer accepts a wide variety of wines, including red, white, rosé, sparkling wines, and fortified wines such as Port, Sherry, and Marsala.

We do not accept consignments of miniature bottles, spirits, vermouth, beers, ciders, or non-alcoholic wines. If you would like to sell spirits, please see our sister-sites, Whisky Auctioneer and Rum Auctioneer.

Our team conducts a thorough authenticity and condition check for all bottles received. We only accept bottles in good condition with intact seals and no leakage. Wine Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw or reject any bottle that shows signs of leakage at any point before the auction ends. If a bottle is deemed unlikely to meet the starting bid value, it may be rejected at our discretion.

Sellers are paid within 21 business days after the auction closes, but payment is only processed once the buyer has completed their payment.

Payments are made via direct bank transfer and may take a few days to appear in your account. Please note that any banking fees or exchange rates are paid for by the seller.

To ensure a smooth payment process, please make sure your Seller Payment Details are updated in your Personal Profile.

At Wine Auctioneer, we accept consignments from both private collectors and trade sellers. Whether you have a single bottle of something special or need to clear out older stock, we're here to help you find the right buyers.

We offer free, no-obligation valuations and support you with getting your bottles to us, including free bottle collection within the UK and EU (subject to value and volume).

Once your wine arrives at our warehouse, we handle everything – from creating professional listings and taking photos to promoting your bottles to a global audience. With a user-friendly website, low buyer commissions, and worldwide shipping options, our auctions attract a wide range of buyers from all over the world, increasing the chances of a great sale.
