Spectrum Wine Auctions will hold its largest-ever live auction next month at the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel and Towers.

Featuring more than 1,700 lots, the two-day auction beginning March 12th comprises multiple cases of Chateau Lafite Rothschild, including the 1982, 1986, 2000 and 2005 vintages.

Other notable lots include cases of Chateau Petrus, rare vintages of Chateau Latour and six bottles of Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion 1961.

"With consignments purchased directly from several top producers and the second installment from The Doctor's Pristine OWC Collection, the auction will offer collectors a truly astonishing opportunity to procure top wines with the finest possible provenance," said Spectrum president Jason Boland.

The auction house will also provide a virtual bidding platform for those who are not able to attend the event in person.

In New Zealand, the Fine Wine Delivery Company is holding an auction to raise funds for victims of the earthquake in Christchurch.
