Best place for old wine, even if not perfect The markup is more than I think is fair, but they are up front about it. It's always risky buying "used" wine, but it also allows me to buy older stuff. Overall, there's no better place to procure old wines and often at a good value.

Counterfeit concern I buy from winebid.com very often,maybe every week and expensive wines. My concern is the counterfeit wines. I'm not saying that I have noticed anything wrong,but I'm concerned how good and how carefully their specialists are looking at the wines. How do they make sure that the wine are legit? Other than this concern,I'm happy with winebid..

Never again The worst customer service and treatment in any wine shopping experience I've had. I have since closed my account. Unreliable and untrustworthy behavior in dealing with me, which makes me question the trustworthiness of their wines especially given current scandals about fake wine in the news. Shoddy customer service. Simply terrible. Also, when you factor in all their charges, the wines are overpriced.

I buy wine all over the world mostly at… I buy wine all over the world mostly at auction and find the opportunity to buy interesting and often overlooked lots on WineBid intriguing. What I do not like is that fact that I am continually ambushed at the end of an auction (like the last 30 seconds) by buyers who have shown no interest in a lot. This past weekend one guy literally was able to outbid me on 5 lots and I had no chance to respond. There is not one wine auction in the world that would not allow an under bidder to not respond but this is the environment that has been created. it is not conducive to creating a healthy marketplace. I am not sure why I even bother with the process.

Experienced Customer of Winebid I have been buying on Winebid for over 5 years. I am certain I have bought over 400 bottles. I believe only one of the bottles was skunked. I have used their filters to create my favorites, and enjoy looking at the weekly updates. Knowing the buyers premium is part of the cost, I have found numerous bottles at 50% off retail or more. Now when you bid it advise you of the premium and the only hidden cost is shipping ($5/bottle). I think it is a fabulous site. Separately a close friend of mine died, and his wife had no interest in his Wine cellar. Numerous local lowball quotes from retailers resulted in me pointing her to WineBid. She sold over 700 bottles and netted well over 2x what her best local offer was. I think the site is fabulous.
