Wine auction hero banner

The holiday auction calendar is already buzzing with wine sales. The earliest deadline falls on December 15, when Hall's Auction Services will host its "Deck the Halls" holiday auction, featuring a curated selection of fine wine and spirits for festive gifting. That same day, The Wine Auction Room runs its Stocking Filler Online Christmas Wine Auction, offering prestigious labels such as Dom Pérignon, Krug and Château Lafite Rothschild to bidders worldwide.

A day later, on December 16, Whisky Auctioneer’s online auction closes, and alongside rare whiskies it lists several coveted wine lots, underscoring the growing crossover between spirits and wine collectors. The momentum builds on December 20 with Cheese & Wine Traders’ dedicated wine auction, spotlighting standout bottles like Abbott Claim Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, paired with artisanal cheeses for a gourmet experience.

The month’s final notable deadline arrives on December 30, when Peter Wilson Fine Art Auctioneers concludes its Single Owner Vintage Port Timed Auction, presenting a rare vintage port collection that appeals to both wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs of fortified wines.

Beyond the dated events, a wave of upcoming auctions is generating excitement. Napa Valley Vintners promises exclusive regional bottles, though dates remain to be announced, while AllBids runs daily online wine auctions that keep the market fluid. Biddingonline.com.au adds Australian vintages to the mix, and Cambridge Wine Merchants continues to source premium selections from Bordeaux, Burgundy and beyond. Good Bottle Auctions is also preparing future consignments, signaling a steady pipeline of collectible wine.

Looking ahead to early 2026, Iron Gate’s Fine Wine Auctions will showcase a broad spectrum of coveted bottles in a two‑day format, and Stride & Son’s Wine, Whisky, Port, Spirits & Cigars auction signals a trend toward multi‑category liquid assets. Collectively, these events illustrate a vibrant, increasingly online‑driven market where rare vintages, regional specialties and fortified wines command strong bidder interest, setting the stage for a dynamic post‑holiday auction season.
