Rare Wine & Whisky Auctions

Rare wine and whisky auctions connect connoisseurs, collectors, and investors with limited-edition bottles, estate cellars, and vintage releases. These auctions offer a global marketplace for some of the finest bottles ever produced—whether for drinking, collecting, or appreciating in value.

Our auctions are typically online and bid at the item with smartphone on item inspection day, giving bidders the chance to preview condition, provenance, and packaging on-site while bidding remotely via mobile.

💡 Why Wine & Whisky Auctions Are Liquid Gold

1. High-Ticket, Low-Footprint Inventory

A single bottle can sell for hundreds to tens of thousands. Inventory is small, portable, and high in value.

2. Authenticity & Provenance Build Trust

Selling Lane supports documentation uploads, condition notes, and provenance histories to drive competitive bidding.

3. Profitable Fee Structure for Hosts

A 12% buyer premium and 5% listing fee provide dependable income while keeping fees competitive for sellers and collectors.

4. Close More Bottles with Deal Working

Selling Lane’s deal working feature helps finalize sales that don’t meet reserve—often improving sell-through by up to 10%.

🍇 Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa, and Rhône vintage wines
🥃 Scotch, bourbon, and Japanese single malts
🏅 Collector’s bottles, distillery exclusives, and limited releases
