About us

Success for over 30 years

As the first German wine auction house, Koppe & Partner is your experienced specialist when it comes to wine auctions. A wine auction is a magical place for connoisseurs with a sense for value, history, and a passion for collecting. After all, a special wine is not only the crown of unique moments, but also makes a noble gift for aficionados or an investment.

For over 30 years, we have been organizing high-quality online wine auctions at short, regular intervals on behalf of our international clients. Both sides benefit from this: consignors offering exceptional wines or perhaps looking to liquidate an inherited wine cellar, as well as bidders who wish to fill their own cellar with rare treasures. With us, you come together!

Das Weinauktions-Team

The Wine Auction Team is united by a passion for fine wines. Following the motto: “There is more philosophy in a bottle of wine than in all the books in the world.” (Louis Pasteur)

Discover the Online Platform for Wine Enthusiasts

We support you professionally and effortlessly. Whether you want to offer wines or bid on wines – or both! Many of our clients we know in both roles. With our support, you can optimize the stock in your wine cellar from auction to auction. Benefit from our experience and expertise too!
Auctions

For Sellers

If you wish to consign wines for auction, we will assess them expertly and create an online catalog from your offer, where the individual wines are grouped into lots (called "lots") consisting of one or more bottles. This catalog forms the basis for the online auction, which we will organize and promote with your wines. Feel free to first let us assess your wines for a non-binding evaluation before deciding to go for an auction.

For Buyers

To participate in our Wine Auctions, register yourself simply on our website. Registration is free, and you will then also receive our newsletter with the latest auction highlights and the relevant catalog. With your email address and an individual password, you can then place your bids online after registration in the given steps. The individual lots are called to the minimum price, which is below the estimated value. Already many wine enthusiasts have found real treasures at once with advantageous conditions!
