How wine
auctions work.

Choose how many bottles you want and the most you’ll pay for each. We bid for you, up to that limit.

Good bottles. Loud bids. A hand holds a wine bottle.
  1. Choose your bottles.

    Browse the auction and review each wine’s description and bottle photo. Choose how many bottles you’d like to win.

  2. Set your price limit.

    Enter the most you’ll pay per bottle. This is your private maximum—other bidders can’t see it. We raise your bid only when someone bids against you, up to your limit.

    If two bidders set the same maximum, the earlier bid takes priority.

  3. Keep an eye on your bids.

    Check My Bids to see which bottles you’re winning. Each wine has its own closing time. A late bid may extend that time, so check again before it ends.

    You haven’t won until bidding closes.

  4. Pay for your wins.

    Your winning bottles go on one invoice. We charge a 0% buyer’s premium, so there’s no auction fee added to your winning bid. Applicable tax and any shipping or pickup charges are separate.

  5. Get your wine.

    Choose shipping to an eligible state or pickup in Reno. You can also keep your bottles with us to combine purchases from several auctions.

0% buyer’s premium.

A buyer’s premium is a fee added to the winning bid. Ours is 0%, so your winning bid is the price you pay for the wine.

Win a bottle at $100 and the wine costs $100. Applicable tax and any shipping or pickup charges are separate.
