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 "+ £55.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).

Classification
Classico DOCG
Classico DOCG refers to wines produced in the historic, original heartland of certain Italian wine regions that have been awarded Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) status—the highest classification in Italy's wine quality system. The term "Classico" distinguishes wines from the oldest, most traditional vineyard areas, often located on higher elevations or superior terroirs, within a broader DOCG appellation. For example, Chianti Classico DOCG comes from the central zone of the Chianti region, known for producing more structured and refined wines than those from surrounding areas. DOCG regulations ensure strict controls over grape varieties, yields, aging requirements, and winemaking practices, with Classico wines often subject to even more rigorous standards. These wines are typically known for their authenticity, balance, and strong sense of place, making Classico DOCG labels a trusted mark of both tradition and quality in Italian wine.
