I have loved my experience with Windbid! Best wine I have had and it is something I enjoy. I would recommend them to anyone.

They keep you money long after the auction is over, knowingly sell off condition wine and accept no responsibility or give refunds. And, if you complain they suspend your account.

a lot of fakes

Very nice website but i think personally I will do auction business elsewhere as 17% is typically more than I want to spend. K&L wine offers a 5% buyer's premium.

Every step of the process to list wines for auction was detailed, guided and exactly as described. This was a wonderful experience, professional and knowledgeable company and people. Highly reccomend Wine Bid.

I purchase many bottles each year from WineBid. Everything has been delivered as expected. For complaints and demurrers I’ve read below...understand this about online wine auction houses: (1) They only make money on the selling of other people’s wine products - they can’t guarantee the validity of every bottle. I believe they try to inspect, but you really can’t tell what you got until the cork is pulled...an inherent risk of being a wine customer. So, yes, you will always take a risk on buying a fake or corked wine from an auction house...we rarely have any other options in the post-Rudy era until ID technology is implemented on future vintages; (2) Delivery make take a week or so..don’t order in anticipation of an event that is around the corner; most of these purchases are people trading from cellar to cellar... (3) Although not always, WineBid wine is usually purchased by people who are looking for bottles where Wine-Searcher did not provide a cheaper retail option from what is typically a CA-FL-NY-IL wine store or warehouse that may or may not ship; and finally, (4) Buyer must always beware in this business. If you are complaining over a couple $100-150 purchases that were too expensive or took too long and then were denied a refund, online auctions are not for you. Look, at least you will own what you win...there’s nothing worse than arranging purchases from third-party suppliers in the business who can’t guarantee to sell you what’s listed on their inventory spreadsheets that are probably from last season. That will p*ss a customer off. I want to give WineBid credit for displaying rather nice big photos of the bottle conditions and being honest about label and capsule conditions. Their photo system provides better bottle photos than most sites. What pains my behind is that WineBid doesn’t ship to my state - not because of wine laws, but because WineBid doesn’t want to got through the licensing process...probably a supply and demand issue where I am on the losing end. That means I pay even more for a shipper in Napa down the street to send my WineBid purchases to me. Otherwise a 5 star situation.

I bought a lot of wine from them and there is a reason it’s the cheapest out there. I have received fake terrible wine from them over and over. They don’t stand behind their product either. I think Rudy sold a bunch to them

Been great so far.. no issues at all.. Make sure you read the terms and understand them. Shipping is a little slow so if you need your wine asap I would call them.
