Perth. Whether you have a single bottle or an entire cellar, you will receive expert
advice regarding the sale of your wine.
Valuations
The first step in selling your wine is to find out how much it is worth. Langton’s
provides a unique value-it-yourself valuation service. Established in the late 1980s
our price database records and tracks the auction price movement of over 15,000
individual wines. Updated after every sale, it is now available online. You can
value your wine by going to Wine Tools/Price Guide.
If your wine is not listed in our database Langton’s will be happy to appraise your
wine at no cost or obligation. We encourage all prospective sellers to value their
wine and then send in their lists using Langton’s consignment form. You can find
our consignment form by clicking Consignment located under both Auctions and Exchange.
Secure vendor account
As a vendor you receive a free Langton’s membership which entitles you to a personalised
online account that allows you to manage all trading with us 24/7 on the WWW. Your
online account is your passport to everything you need to do at Langton’s. You can

The price you get
At Auction your wine is listed in our auction catalogue and the price paid is the
highest bid made at Auction. To ensure your wine does not sell below market value,
at Auction house reserves are in place against all lots.
On our Exchange the seller sets the price. All Exchange wine sells by the case at
the fixed price you have set. You can respond to market interest and contact us
at any time to adjust the price.
What we charge
We charge a seller’s commission only when your wine sells and we do not charge for
unsold wine. Insurance and storage while we hold your wine is free of charge. We
base our commission rate on the quality and quantity of wine on offer – please contact
us for a quote.
Getting your wine to us
If your wine is suitable for sale at Auction or on our Exchange and you wish to
sell you can drop it off yourself or have it delivered to our Sydney or Melbourne
warehouse. When your wine is delivered you need to provide a detailed listing.
Upon delivery you get a receipt and you are advised which Auction your wine is being
entered into.
Wine for sale on our Exchange needs to be in full cases and dropped off or delivered
to our Melbourne or Sydney warehouse. If your wine is suitable for our Exchange it will
be listed for sale immediately upon arrival.
If you are an interstate or country vendor we are happy to make delivery arrangements
for you. We fully insure your wine at market value under Langton’s insurance policy
once it is in our warehouse(s).
Confidentiality
Langton’s takes the confidentiality of our clients very seriously. All transactions
with Langton’s are strictly confidential. Unless compelled to by law, Langton’s
will not disclose any personal or business information to any outside party for
