A buoyant market for wine and whisky has resulted in a demand for top bottles of Burgundy, Bordeaux, Claret and collectable whiskies such as Macallan. Since the dedicated wine sales were established in 2011, the department has built a solid client base of both the wine trade and individuals with a passion for wine and whisky.  Our sales, which are held three times a year, are marketed to target this specialist audience.

The Wine and Whisky Department handles consignments of all sizes, from single bottles to entire cellars. We can offer a full valuation service for auction, private sale, probate and insurance, and are able to advise on current market values and all aspects of buying and selling wine at auction.
