Can I auction my wine?

Members often ask us for wine valuation advice and assistance with auctioning surplus wine stored in Members' Reserves or at home.

Although we do not offer wine auction or valuation services directly (and it is against The Society's rules for members to purchase wine with the specific intention of resale), there are a number of auction houses and brokers that are able to provide such a service. A selection of these companies is listed below but please note that while we are happy to help members by supplying the details of these businesses, this should be regarded as information only rather than a recommendation or endorsement from The Society.

With regard to wines stored in Members' Reserves, it might also be useful to point out that only duty-paid wines may be withdrawn for sale via an auction. For more information, please refer to the full terms and conditions applicable to Members' Reserves.
