Selling to Us
The procedure for selling wine is as follows:
- find the wine you require and click on the wine name
- click the “Trade” button in the middle of the price quote
- on the left hand side of the trading screen (under VWF buys) select the required quantity and click “Trade Now”
This adds the sale to your trading pad; you can add further trades by repeating the above steps and when you are finished click the “Complete Trade” button at the bottom of the trading pad – this finalizes the whole transaction. You can return to the trading pad at any time by clicking “View Pad” in the top menu.
Seller status is available to those registered users who can guarantee the condition and provenance of their stock. All wines we purchase are inspected and photographed and we reserve the right to request replacements where our minimum criteria (see below) are not satisfied. Sellers are typically wholesalers, merchants and negociants as well as private collectors and investors whose wines have been well stored under bond.
Placing an online sell order constitutes a firm obligation on the user to supply, and a commitment on the part of VWF to purchase, the appropriate wines at the price quoted. The brief confirmation sent on completion of the online sell order will be followed by a formal purchase order. Unless otherwise agreed, wines should be transferred to our Octavian account at once and payment will be made immediately upon completion of a satisfactory inspection of the wines.
All wines supplied to us must be under bond and have clean, unmarked labels, sound capsules, fill levels of base neck or higher and be packed in the original case. We do not accept stock with US (or other non-European) export strip labels.
