Sell Vintage Wine In Bond
Have vintage wine sitting in bond?
Send us the basics — producer, vintage, case size, quantity and where it’s held — and we’ll come back with a straight read on what we can do with it. No valuation exercise to get started, and no obligation to go further.
Selling in bond keeps it clean: the wine moves from your bond account to the buyer’s with duty and VAT still deferred and the provenance intact.

Selling to us
Start with the facts. We’ll take it from there.
Selling vintage wine in bond shouldn’t begin with a big valuation exercise. Send the details that matter and we’ll come back with a clear view — what we can place, and how.
-
01
Send the basics
Producer, vintage, case size, quantity and storage location. Original cases, fill levels or storage history to hand? Even better — but don’t let missing paperwork hold you up.
-
02
What’s worth sending?
Good wine, properly stored in bond — Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône, top Italy and beyond. From a single case to a wider bonded holding.
-
03
What happens next?
If it’s a fit, we’ll confirm what we need and talk through the offer. If it isn’t, you’ll get an honest no — not a drawn-out chase.
The essentials
Selling “in bond”, explained.
When wine is “in bond” it sits in an HMRC-approved warehouse with UK duty and VAT not yet applied. Selling it in bond means the case changes hands without ever leaving that storage.
- A clean transfer. The wine moves from your bond account to the buyer’s, without leaving the warehouse.
- Provenance is everything. Storage history, fill levels and original cases all shape what a holding is worth.
- Duty & VAT stay deferred. While the wine remains in bond, UK duty and VAT are not yet applied.

Tell us what you hold.

- Quantity and where it’s stored
- Original cases or condition notes, if you have them
Good to know
Selling vintage wine in bond, answered.
Do I need a full valuation before I get in touch?
No. Send the basics — producer, vintage, case size, quantity and where it’s stored — and we’ll come back with a straight read. There’s no valuation exercise needed to begin, and no obligation to go further.
What kind of wine is of interest?
Good wine, properly stored in bond — Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône, top Italy and beyond, from a single case through to a wider bonded holding.
Does selling in bond involve duty or VAT?
While wine stays in bond, UK duty and VAT remain deferred, and selling in bond means the case moves from one bond account to another without leaving the warehouse. For your own position, take professional tax advice.
Can Bath Spa Capital advise me on returns or tax?
No. We do not provide financial, investment or tax advice. We help you place good vintage wine through a direct, private conversation — the decision is always yours.
