NEW YORK, 28 August 2018 – Sotheby’s Wine is pleased to unveil our global auction calendar for autumn 2018. Each of our global selling centers in Hong Kong, London and New York are offering dedicated auctions as part of our series of 8 sales. These sales arrive on the heels of a record-breaking first half for Sotheby’s Wine: at the end of June this year, our global wine auction sales had already achieved US$57 million – an outstanding year-to-date total compared to full-year sales of US$64 million in 2017. Together, the first part of the fall auction series is estimated to achieve in excess of $25 million, with additional sales to come this winter in New York and London.

Jamie Ritchie, Worldwide Head of Sotheby’s Wine, commented: “Following our record-breaking first half sales of $57 million, our early fall season showcases over $25 million of the world’s most sought after wines and spirits - the strongest and most diverse range of wine sales since Sotheby’s started offering wine in 1970, which puts us on track to have one of our best years ever. It is a privilege to be entrusted with the sale of five outstanding private collections, all of which have exemplary provenance. This season, buyers have many unique opportunities, as illustrated by the 200 bottles of historic DRC on offer from Robert Drouhin’s private cellar, as well as a bottle of the legendary Macallan 1926, with the British artist Sir Peter Blake label, one of only 12 bottles produced. The whisky business has been showing extraordinary growth and we will be expanding our offering of spirits in the future. This season has a wine or spirit for every taste and price point.”
