The assured way
The Wine Collector Fine Wine Exchange aims to facilitate the transaction of wine in a secure and reliable market-place by instituting the following assured processes:
Independence
Wine Collector has no exclusive merchant relationships, does not buy or sell wine for itself, nor does it participate in trading. We maintain separate client ownership accounts.
Price transparency
Our database of more than 250,000 wines in conjunction with daily price searches across the market allow our proprietary algorithms to provide you with the most representative price for you wine in the market.

Provenance
The Wine Passport encourages users to record as much information about the wines they own as possible, enabling a more informed trading decision to be made.

Inspection
We encourage inspection of wines prior to listing and (in lieu of or as well as) by buyers prior to trade completion. We kindly request sellers of wine to the value of GBP 1,000 or greater to select the inspection option when offering for sale on the fine wine exchange.
Settlement
We aim to streamline the settlement process for transactions by minimising the movement of wines between storage facilities. Inspections are typically undertaken by the warehouse where the seller's wine is lying to speed up post-trade settlement.
Security
Your security is assured with options that are controllable by you.
