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
Ramos Pinto Velho-72 Port
From Ramos Pinto, \"Velho-72\" is believed to be an old Port of the Tawny style.
Tawny Port is a particular style of Port in which the fortified wines are aged for a number of years in small oak casks. This process of deliberate and careful oxidative maturation imparts typical characteristics of stewed fruits, nuts and leather. The wines do not age or improve further upon bottling.
We are informed that \"Velho 72\" was produced from pre-phyloxera era vines of the 1872 vintage, bottled in the 1950s - however we are entirely unable to confirm the validity of this information.
