Dreweatts’ Wine Department offers a full spectrum of services to meet the needs of private collectors and the wine trade in the UK and internationally.   Our proposition includes auction sales and, through our sister company Bid for Wine, a peer-to-peer, self-listing Marketplace platform.  Our monthly online auctions, themed auctions and stand-alone Single Owner sales encompass the diversity and splendour of fine wine and spirits, from rare single bottles to complete cases of sought-after vintages. 

Ahead of our dedicated Fine Champagne and Sparkling Wine sale in November, we invite you to get in touch for a free, no-obligation valuation.

Whether buying or selling or both, Dreweatts strives to deliver exceptional service from beginning to end. Buyers can bid with confidence thanks to Dreweatts’ strict commitment to provenance which underpins everything we do.  Together with Dreweatts’ logistics partner, London City Bond, we offer a national delivery service, quotations for international shipping and world-class, temperature-controlled storage.  Collectors can trust in the expertise and market knowledge of Dreweatts’ wine specialists to provide valuations for sale, probate or insurance, and advice on current portfolios and cellar management, whether building a first collection or maintaining one. 

Sellers benefit from competitive commission rates and can entrust the entire auction process to our friendly team of experienced specialists, including packing of cellars and overseeing bonded transfers.  Our auctions have a strong following both in the UK and globally, and this international reach, underpinned by a wide base of private clients, ensures value is maximized through competitive bidding on each lot. 

Wines from Europe are the cornerstone of the auction landscape.  These include all the French classics – Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone – and more esoteric wines from Alsace, Loire and Languedoc.  Italian estates from Piedmont and Tuscany, Spanish wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, and German wines are also in demand.  The best examples from North and South America, South Africa and Australasia all feature in our auctions.  From the cool, Pacific mists of Oregon to the sunbaked vineyards of the Barossa Valley, New World wines continue to gain in reputation and popularity and achieve impressive results.  Vintage Port and rare, collectable Whisky, Cognac, Armagnac, Madeira and Sherry are popular and important ingredients of any Dreweatts’ sale.  With increasing worldwide demand and our global audience, these bottles often appear in our sale highlights.
