Bottles is a Portugal-based auction house for fine wine and rare spirits, serving buyers and sellers across the European Union. Every lot is offered by a real seller and — when the category calls for it — vetted by an independent expert before bids open.
We exist to make secondary-market trading of collectible drinks fair and boring: a buyer pays once, a seller is paid once the bottle is in the buyer’s hand. Bottles holds the escrow in between and mediates the rare cases where something goes sideways.
The team is small and based in Lisbon. Engineering, expert curation, and customer support all sit in-house.
