Selling with Ditton
If you hold fine and well kept bottles you are thinking of selling, we can place them with the right buyer — discreetly, and for a fair price. We work at the top end of the market: trophy Bordeaux and Burgundy, prestige Champagne, and rare, aged Whisky — bottles or collections that seldom sell online. For more than twenty years now, we have acted for private collectors as well as merchants, on both sides of a deal, and much of what we handle is placed privately, never publicly listed.
Tell us what you'd consider selling. We will look into the history and, where possible, arrange authentication through the brand owner or an independent expert. When we are confident in the provenance and condition, we find the right counterparty from our network and agree terms with you before anything moves. You stay informed throughout, and nothing is committed without your say-so.
How we work
- Provenance research — we research the history and do what we can to authenticate, so that, crucially, a prospective buyer can have confidence in the provenance.
- Discretion — We can list your stock on our website, or we can offer a more bespoke service: if it's sensitive you can be confident we will find a new home discreetly.
- A fair, honest price — Rare, priced possessions are notoriously hard to value. Based on previous sales, current demand by collectors and other offers (if any), we will advise what we think the bottles are worth, for you to agree to in advance.
- White glove logistics — For any bottle, but especially for older, rare and fragile bottles, handling and transportation is absolutely crucial. Often, this is where deals fall apart or turn into a nightmare. We have over 20 years of specialised experience. We do not cut corners and we make sure every bottle is handled to exacting standards.
Or sell outright
Prefer not to wait? If you would rather sell outright than consign with us, we buy premium, well stored Wine, Champagne and Whisky outright — for immediate payment and at a fair price. There is no need to store with us to sell, and your stock stays yours until you are paid. Tell us what you have and we will come back with an offer.
