Trade Advantage: Registered Alcohol Wholesalers (AWRS)
A key factor in the success of our fine wine and spirit sales is our fully licensed status under the Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme (AWRS). As registered alcohol wholesalers, we have the unique advantage of selling directly to commercial and business buyers, as well as private individuals, dramatically widening the audience for our consignors.
Please note: Under UK law, it is illegal for any business to sell alcohol to another business without valid AWRS registration. Buying or selling through a non-registered auction house or dealer can lead to severe penalties and seized stock. Our full compliance ensures complete legal peace of mind for trade buyers and private vendors alike.
