Bidding advice
You can place bids either under the lot image on the main auction page or on the right side of the individual lot page.
Placing a Maximum Bid
Use the "Set your bid limit" button on the left side of the bidding panel to enter the highest amount you're willing to bid on a lot. Our system will then automatically raise your bid in set increments if you’re outbid, up to your maximum. If someone bids above your set limit, we’ll notify you by email so you can choose whether to increase your bid.
Placing a Single Bid
Alternatively, place a single bid by selecting the button on the right side of the bidding panel. The button displays the amount needed for the next increment. For example, if the current highest bid is £50.00, the button will show "+ £5.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).

Bottle Details
From the single vineyard Scharzhofberger, famed for its incredible terroir, this super-sweet Riesling is only produced in exceptional vintages and is unquestionably one of the most expensive and highly desirable wines of the world.
Only 22 75cl bottles of the Scharzhofberger Trockenbeerenauslese 2003 were produced and all originally sold for a record-breaking sum as part of the September 2015 VDP Grosser Ring Wine Presentation, a yearly auction of rare and unique wines.
