WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1994 and today recognized and respected as one of the largest and most successful international fine wine traders, FINE+RARE's ongoing success is generated from providing you, our private and trade customers alike, with an efficient and thriving fine wine marketplace.

• Your Fine Wine Marketplace
• Market Prices
• Storage
• Condition and Provenance
• Not Just a Marketplace

We've grown from 'three men with an idea' to a highly successful business employing specialist teams of highly professional staff including; Account Managers/Brokers, Cellar Team, Data Administrators, Developers, Financial, Marketing, Operations/Logistics.

Based in London, England and with an office in Hong Kong, we are an integral part of the 'London Market' which is the dominant international hub for fine wine trading outside Bordeaux.

Founder directors and shareholders, Mark Bedini (CEO) and Bud Cuchet (Buying), remain actively involved in the company and more recently joined by directors Jamie Graham (Sales) and Alex Kidney (Ops & Finance). With an outstanding and talented group of 'home-grown' managers supporting the directors and a highly committed and motivated staff we look forward to continuing our success and growth into the future.

The F+R Team

The sophisticated trading model we have developed means we actively track and make markets across a virtually unlimited range of fine wines and because we keep our margins low this delivers huge benefits to our customers.

For BUYERS it means you not only get competitive wholesale prices, but also extraordinary choice.

Detailed Search

For SELLERS it means sales exposure to an established, active international customer base for virtually any fine wines (not just the usual suspects) in case lots and single bottles at current market prices.

Valuations

As part of our end-to-end service philosophy and to compliment your fine wine marketplace we offer some of the highest quality storage in the UK at extremely competitive rates.

F+R Storage

Our reputation and success relies on our integrity and the good quality of the stock we supply, but it is true that making a purchase comes with a very serious 'buyer beware warning' (See Clause 8 of our Terms of Sale). However, please be reassured that we only buy from reliable sources and take great care on your behalf to check stocks for signs of poor storage, defects or forgery.

We run a top level Bordeaux Tour each year and several high profile and exclusive wine dinners throughout the year. Our Browse section provides up to date news and events details.
