Maybe you’ve acquired a few too many bottles, or inherited a cellar from someone whose taste in wine doesn’t accord with your own. If you have wine you’d like to sell, one of the following options should suit your needs, whether you’re a serious collector looking to offload buys from major-league makers and vintages by the lot or simply a wine lover ready to let go of individual bottles – for the right price.
For the Fanciest Collectors
A collector who has amassed too much grand cru Burgundy and first-growth Bordeaux might well turn to an auction house. Reputable, well-established options range from traditional houses like Sotheby’s and Christie’s, where wine is just one type of high-end collectible offered for auction, to wine-centric auction houses like Zachys, Acker Wines and Hart Davis Hart Wine Co.
