Start with the bottle, not the bidding
Read the producer, wine name, vintage, and bottle size before comparing prices. A different vintage or bottle size can make two similar-looking lots quite different purchases. Check the available quantity and bottle photo on the lot page. If something you need to know is missing, ask before bidding.
Choose a quantity and a price per bottle
At Shouting Grape, you choose how many bottles you want and your private maximum price per bottle. A maximum of $40 for three bottles means you are willing to spend up to $120 on the wine itself. The buyer’s premium, applicable tax, and any shipping costs are additional; review those costs before deciding on your maximum.
Understand what your maximum does
Your private maximum is your limit. We raise your bid only when competition requires it, up to that amount. The current bid and your maximum can therefore be different. An earlier accepted bid takes priority when maximums tie. If you request several bottles, check your bid position to see how many you are currently winning.
Watch the lot’s closing time
Use the closing time shown on the individual lot. Bidding near the end may extend that lot, giving other bidders time to respond. A winning position before the close is not a final result. Follow My Bids and the lot page as the auction ends.
Plan what happens after a win
After the auction, your winning bottles appear on one invoice with the buyer’s premium and applicable tax. Once paid, choose eligible shipping, local pickup in Reno, or combine purchases from several auctions. Review shipping and pickup information before bidding so your next step is clear.
