I buy wine all over the world mostly at… I buy wine all over the world mostly at auction and find the opportunity to buy interesting and often overlooked lots on WineBid intriguing. What I do not like is that fact that I am continually ambushed at the end of an auction (like the last 30 seconds) by buyers who have shown no interest in a lot. This past weekend one guy literally was able to outbid me on 5 lots and I had no chance to respond. There is not one wine auction in the world that would not allow an under bidder to not respond but this is the environment that has been created. it is not conducive to creating a healthy marketplace. I am not sure why I even bother with the process.

Never again The worst customer service and treatment in any wine shopping experience I've had. I have since closed my account. Unreliable and untrustworthy behavior in dealing with me, which makes me question the trustworthiness of their wines especially given current scandals about fake wine in the news. Shoddy customer service. Simply terrible. Also, when you factor in all their charges, the wines are overpriced.

Good experience, but way higher then FMV I've always had good experiences with Winebid with bidding and shipping. For lower priced wines under $300, you will still pay a premium through Winebid. But for higher priced collector wines, sellers set their minimum bid at current fair market value or slightly higher. In other words, sellers are really listing their wine for sale at current (or even higher) fair market value (which already considers the cost of auction fees). Tack on the Winebid 17% buyer fee and you're paying way more than professional auction houses who appropriately set starting bids lower....i.e., so it's an auction, not a sale plus 17%. Anyone who buys at Winebid for investment should seriously reconsider their thought process.

amazing experience so far amazing experience so far. Bought many bottles and shipping was quick and effective. Buyers must be aware that older bottles have a higher risk of being past peak which all depends on how the owner took care of the bottle. All of mine have been fine.

Best place for old wine, even if not perfect The markup is more than I think is fair, but they are up front about it. It's always risky buying "used" wine, but it also allows me to buy older stuff. Overall, there's no better place to procure old wines and often at a good value.
