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..

amazing experience so far amazing experience so far. Bought many bottles and shipping was quick and effective. Buyers must be aware that older bottles have a higher risk of being past peak which all depends on how the owner took care of the bottle. All of mine have been fine.

Winebid is NOT so Good My experiences have NOT been good with Winebid. First, I thought they had a ridiculously high 17% premium fee and you can get lower fees on other auction sites. Second, the shipping was very excessive compared to others. Thirdly, not having exposure to the others bidding (like a in person wine auction), makes me think there are underhanded things going on the maximize on their profits. Lastly, I've gotten wine that may have been fakes and they can NOT guarantee their authenticity. I will not be a returning customer.

Actually great Not sure what it is with all the hate. For most of the bottles I buy, it's a great steal. Their customer service is so on point and helpful with everything. I had an issue with a shipment and they fixed it in under an hour. I don't buy crazy expensive bottles but generally find great deals. At least the website is upfront with the premium, most places will just put it into the price and not actually tell you. Only your first bid they have a pre-authorization and the charges were dropped after I won. It is not a big deal. Overall it is a great website, with some awesome deals, and amazing customer service.
