Bringing You the Finest Wines
at Auction Prices...

I have been a wine enthusiast for many years. I have visited over 100 different wineries, and have had the pleasure of drinking some of the finest wines in the world. I have been buying wines at auctions for years, and have found that most of the wine auction sites are more about the site than about the visitors. I wanted to develop a website where buyers could meet sellers and choose to exchange their wines at a price that they both found agreeable. A website where the seller did not have to part with their wine before they had a buyer, and where the buyer did not have to pay a large auction fee to acquire the wine. Enter ... The Cellar Exchange

The Cellar Exchange is an open auction when Sellers can list as little as one bottle of wine or cases at a time. There is no fee for listing and no need to ship your wine to The Cellar Exchange ... ever. Many auctions want the wines in advance. That creates extra costs for the seller for shipping. At the Cellar Exchange, you ship directly to the buyer ... and ... as the seller, you decide whether you or the buyer will cover the shipping charges. As the Buyer, you do not pay an auction fee. You decide how much you are willing to pay for the wine (plus shipping if applicable). There are no extra fees added.

Through our feedback system, Buyers and Sellers will help other members learn about the quality of wines offered by other Sellers, and whether Buyers are "quick pay". The Cellar Exchange does not determine whether a buyer or seller is reputable ... you do!!

The fun part about buying wine at auction is that you can find wines that may no longer be available in your marketplace. In addition, you may find a wine that is a real value. I know that one of my greatest pleasures in wine buying is when I get an excellent wine at a price well below what I thought it would be, or when I find a wine that is undiscovered and therefore priced well below other wines of the same quality ... a real value!!! Those types of buys happen all the time at an auction site. Therefore, visit often ... and watch for the opportunities. They will be there often ... you just have to be there at the same time.

Cheers!
