Fill level and condition are read closely
Bordeaux shapes are described by shoulder (into neck, top shoulder, high shoulder and lower), Burgundy shapes by centimetres below the cork. Labels, capsules and seepage are noted bottle by bottle.

Fine wine and spirits, with fill levels and cellar history in every lot
A wine bidder reads the fill level, the label and the cellar before the vintage. Auctionomy gives every lot room for that detail, on a website that is your house's and with no commission taken on the hammer price.
How your bidders buy
What your bidders read for
Provenance and storage set the bid
Bidders want to know where the wine has lived: original wooden case, professional storage, a private cellar, or bought on release from the château or merchant.
In bond or duty paid
Lots held in bond are sold without duty and VAT paid, and the buyer settles those on release. A clear house marks every lot as in bond or duty paid.
Catalogued your way
Every line of the entry has its place
Description, estimate, condition and provenance are separate parts of every lot on Auctionomy, and each one shows on the lot page. The entry shown here is an illustration, written the way the trade writes it.
