Wine and spirits: auction prices

We have recorded 1 auction sale with a price of 2 models by 1 make in this category, and 1 lot is at auction now. Pick a make, or a model below.

This category covers wine, champagne, port and spirits sold at auction, whether as single bottles, cases or whole cellar collections. Fine wine from estates such as Chateau du Rosaire sits alongside grower champagnes like Taittinger and Moët & Chandon's Dom Pérignon, while whisky, cognac, rum and gin bring in separate collector interest. Buyers are usually collectors or drinkers looking to acquire mature or rare vintages, build a cellar, or secure limited releases for eventual drinking or resale. On a used lot the key points are provenance and storage history, fill level and ullage, label and capsule condition, and for spirits the bottling date and seal integrity, since poor storage or evaporation can seriously affect what remains in the bottle.
