Over the last few years, more and more people have joined countless others in collecting wine and seeing it as a store of value. Our founder, Alexander Pettus, realized there isn’t yet a specific place that’s focused solely on buying and selling wine from collector to collector, but there should be. So, he and a team created Wine & Bids to allow collectors and businesses auction their wines quickly and easily.
Wine & Bids is the best online wine auction marketplace to buy and sell unique wines of all kinds. To us, “unqiue” ranges from the obvious (1996 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon) to the esoteric (Cuvée J’en Veux by Jean-François Ganevat from the Jura Region) to the traditional fun wines that collectors love (Chateau Lafite-Rothschild Pauillac). Basically everything that’s exciting, fun, interesting, and delicious is welcome here.
Although there are many places to buy and sell wine, Wine & Bids offers significant advantages over other places. Here are just a few of the benefits:
1. We’re focused on all wine. That means anyone interested in wine will find many exciting wines to choose from and people will come here first to buy and sell.
2. Our fees are low. Sellers list for free, and the buyer's fee is just $10 on wines that sell at $250 or below. Above $250 the buyer's fee is 5% up to a maximum of $5,000 — far below other auction houses.
3. We believe that people should be able to sell single bottles of wine, and not be forced to sell large lots if they don't want too. Collectors should also be able to sell directly to other collectors.
4. We work very hard to bring extra eyes – and extra buyers – to your wines, periodically featuring wines offered on Wine & Bids across our social accounts. If your wine is chosen, you’ll get far more eyes on your wine than anywhere else.
5. While other wine auctions take weeks or even months to get your wine listed and available to buyers, we’ll get your wine listed quickly – and we’ll even take your input on scheduling your wine’s auction.
6. Wine & Bids makes it easy to submit your wine for sale. We value your time by asking for only a few crucial details before letting you know whether or not we’re accepting your wine. That means you don’t have to waste your time providing initial information only to have your wine rejected.
7. Wine & Bids is the most user-friendly online wine auction marketplace, with easy sorting and searching – and simplified auctions that tell you exactly what you need to know about each wine.
8. Our post-auction support is unmatched. Wine & Bids makes completing your transaction fast, easy, and secure. If you prefer to handle the transaction yourself, we’re always here to answer your questions and lend a hand.
