Sell your fine wine.
We buy the wines collectors hold onto: first growth Bordeaux, Grand Cru Burgundy, Napa cult Cabernet, Super Tuscans and prestige Champagne. Tell us what you have, how it was stored and where the fill sits, and we'll come back with a firm offer for each bottle.

What moves a wine offer
Provenance and condition carry more weight on wine than on almost anything else we buy. Steady cool storage, a fill high in the neck, a clean capsule and a label you can read all push the number up.
Vintage matters too, and so does format. We price every bottle on its own, then make one offer for the lot, so a single tired bottle never drags down the rest.
How selling wine works
Tell us what you have
List each wine with its vintage, size and fill level, and add a photo of the bottle upright at eye level.
Get a firm offer
We price every bottle and send one written offer for the lot, usually within 48 hours.
Ship it, get paid
We send a free shipping kit, insured both ways. We inspect the wine when it arrives and pay you in 5 to 7 days.
Where should the fill be?
Wine slowly drops in the bottle as it ages. A high fill tells us the cork has held and the wine was kept well. Here is how we read it, on the two bottle shapes.
Bordeaux bottle (straight shoulders)
Good fill
- Into the neck
- Base of the neck
- Top of the shoulder
We look closely
- Upper shoulder
- Mid shoulder
- Low shoulder or below
Burgundy or Champagne bottle (sloped)
Good fill
- About 1 cm below the cork
- About 2 cm below the cork
- About 3 cm below the cork
We look closely
- About 4 cm below the cork
- About 5 cm below the cork
- 6 cm or more below the cork
A lower fill is not an automatic no. Older wine sits lower, and we look at every bottle on its own.

Selling wine: common questions
Do I need the original wooden case?
No. An original case helps on top Bordeaux and Burgundy, but most of what we buy arrives as single bottles. Tell us what you have and we price it as it is.
How do I show the fill level?
Stand the bottle upright and take one photo at eye level so we can see where the wine stops. The form has a drawing of the bottle where you tap the level too.
My wine was stored in a closet. Is that a problem?
Not always. Tell us how long and how warm, and send the fill photo. Wine that sat cool and dark, even outside a cellar, can still be in good shape.
How do I get paid?
We send a free insured shipping kit, inspect the wine when it arrives, and pay you by Zelle, Venmo or ACH once it checks out.
