“We know the finest wines from Bordeaux and Burgundy as well as sought-after rarities from around the world — and we know where the market value lies.”
We buy your wines —
fair, discreet and straightforward.
For over 20 years, we have been in the business as wine lovers and connoisseurs. Old and matured wines are of particular interest to us. We are happy to prepare a non-binding offer for you — for fine individual bottles as well as for the dissolution of distinguished wine collections or entire wine cellars.
Our focus
- France — Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône
- California — especially Napa Valley
- Italy — Piedmont and Tuscany
- Austria — Wachau, Kamptal, Carnuntum, Burgenland
- Germany — Rheingau, Rheinhessen, Nahe, Mosel
We are also very pleased to receive offers of fine wines from Spain as well as red wines and port from Portugal.
Fair and transparent
pricing.
Our pricing is based on the current market price, present demand and the quality offered. We assess each bottle individually, ensuring the highest level of transparency when buying your wines.
What influences the price?
- Classification — Premier Grand Cru Classé bottles in the OWC and with proof of storage can fetch several thousand EUR.
- Bottle condition — Clean label, appropriate fill level, undamaged capsule.
- Provenance — Proof of ideal storage and documentation of origin (invoice, subscription) have a positive effect.
- Original wooden case (OWC) — Bottles in the OWC achieve higher prices. Please mention this when making your enquiry.
How the purchase works —
fast and discreet.
- Send us your wine list — by email, WhatsApp or SMS. Please include wine name, vintage, fill level and condition.
- Attach photos — bottles standing upright against a light background, photograph the entire bottle including the neck. This allows us to see the capsule, fill level, label and overall condition.
- Receive an offer — you will get a free, non-binding offer and we agree on a price.
- Handover — by post (the postal service offers a dedicated wine parcel service) or we collect from you in person.
- Payment — immediately in cash or by bank transfer. We kindly ask for a copy of your ID.
