Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Wine:
Who is allowed to sell wines from an estate?
Generally, the heirs or individuals authorized by them. If there are multiple heirs, we are happy to help clarify how the process can be handled in the most efficient way.
Which wines are eligible for purchase?
We primarily assess high‑quality wines with established market demand. Not every wine is suitable for purchase. We share this evaluation openly and transparently.
Do the wines need to be sorted or catalogued beforehand?
No. A rough overview or photos are sufficient for an initial assessment. We take care of the detailed inspection.
How is the value of the wines determined?
The valuation is based on vintage, condition, storage, current market demand, and comparable market prices. Our assessment is transparent and realistic.
Are there any costs for consultation or evaluation?
No. Consultation, initial assessment, and the purchase offer are free of charge and non‑binding.
How does the collection process work?
Once an agreement is reached, we organize the collection or shipping. The wines are professionally packed and transported.
When is payment made?
Payment is made promptly after the wines have been handed over, according to the agreed terms.
How discreet is the purchasing process?
We handle all information confidentially. Names, addresses, and details about the estate are not shared with third parties.
What happens to wines that are not purchased?
We inform you about possible options, such as selling them privately, donating them, or disposing of them. The decision is entirely yours.
