Given our continued success in achieving excellent results for our fine wine and spirits clients – we’re heady with excitement to share the fantastic results from our first auctions of 2021.

Our first Fine Wine Auction of 2021 was another White Glove Sale!

In auction terms, this means that 100% of the lots offered were sold.

We’re also continuing to expand our buying audience with an impressive 20% increase in new bidders in this first quarter, providing even more potential to achieve superior results. These are truly robust indicators as well as critical considerations for anyone interested in consigning to auction.
