Napa, California (PRWEB) May 05, 2015
Brentwood Wine Company, now a subsidiary of Benchmark Wine Group http://www.benchmarkwine.com, announced today that it is conducting its 1000th rare wine auction online at http://www.brentwoodwine.com. In 1998, Brentwood was the first company in the world to conduct weekly wine auctions. Since then, Brentwood has consistently held one to two auctions per week, culminating in their 1000th auction currently in progress.
Brentwood, which advertises “the world’s most interesting wine auctions,” has a greater breadth of product than almost any other auction house. In its sixteen year history, Brentwood’s offerings have included the world’s oldest drinkable wine, the famous 1727 Bremer Ratskeller Rudesheimer Apolstelwein, virtually every other great collectable wine of the world, as well as unusual, rarely-seen treasures and affordable well-made wines. Unlike most other wine auctions, which charge buyers a 19-25% premium above the hammer price, Brentwood charges only 6-12%, depending on frequency of buying activity. Brentwood will also will buy most wine collections outright at the average value a collector would expect to net at auction, allowing for quicker, surer payment.
To celebrate its 1000th auction, Brentwood has stocked an especially large auction and completely waived its buyer premium. This special zero premium auction is running through 11:00 Pacific Time this Wednesday, May 6 at http://www.brentwoodwine.com.
