Global Buyers, Private Network Advantage
We don’t rely on chance. Our private client base spans the UK, Europe, Asia, and the US — with strong demand in places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, and New York. This network means we can match your wines to buyers actively looking for exactly what you’re selling.
Whether it’s rare Burgundy, mature Bordeaux, or investment-grade Champagne, your wines are presented to a serious audience who understand their value. That means faster sales and better results.
Digital-First, Without Losing the Personal Touch
We were built for modern collectors. Cru Wine is a digital-first platform, offering online portfolio tracking, real-time updates, and expert support on demand. But we never lose the human side of the service — every client has direct access to a real specialist, not a chatbot.
We combine efficiency with attention to detail. From storage coordination to pricing insights, everything is handled with care and clarity.
No Hidden Fees, Just Full Transparency
Collectors choose us because we keep things simple. You’ll receive a full valuation before anything is listed, along with a recommended route to market and expected time to sell.
