The Auswine Forum

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well on this cold winters Saturday ( where I am in Tassie anyway). I’m very - very new to this forum ( 10 minutes actually ).
I’ve inherited 4 bottles of wine and am looking at selling them off and giving my kids the proceeds to buy themselves something nice. I’ve looked them up on google and found that they are reasonably good quality and being a beer man, I don’t drink wine and know very little about it.
I’m after some good advice on how I go about selling it. Obviously with the alcohol laws in Australia, I can’t just put it up on marketplace.
I’m not sure how it’s been stored or if that even matters with these wines.
I have -
- Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2006
- Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2014 in the box
- Penfolds grandfather Rare tawny 20y in the box
- poorly butcher hill, Pinot noir 2017
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

In total, at auction, after sellers premium, you're unlikely to do better than $400 all up. Is it worth the admin?
Me, I'd open them over a long bbq with the kids. Might turn you into a wine guy, you never know!

Cheers mate. Kids are only 12 and 14 so I have a while before they would be interested in having a glass.
It would truly be wasted on me as I don’t enjoy drinking wine like others ( I couldn’t tell the difference between a $10 bottle or a $100 bottle. $400 or $500 would be more than a fair price from my end. Do you know what auction sites let you sell wine? Marketplace and eBay won’t let me list it

There are a number of online wine auction houses in Australia. Best way would be to sell it through them.

In the meantime, find a cool and dark place to store the wines while you wait to get them to auction.
