Frequently Asked Questions
Look, we get it. Investing in fine wine and luxury goods isn't something you do on a whim. You've got questions, we've got real answers—no corporate fluff, just 17 years of actual experience helping people like you make smart moves.
We help people build wine collections and acquire luxury goods that actually hold value. That means sourcing, authentication, storage consulting—the whole package. Some clients come to us wanting investment pieces. Others just want a 1987 Bordeaux that won't disappoint. We handle both. We're not brokers pushing product; we're advisors who've seen what works and what doesn't.
Fakes exist. Period. We use laboratory testing, provenance documentation, and our network of certified appraisers. Wines get analyzed for fill levels, capsule condition, and bottle consistency. Luxury goods go through detailed examination using industry-standard authentication methods. Everything we source comes with documentation. You're not guessing with us.
We don't do hidden fees. Consultation starts at 320 RON per hour. For acquisitions, we charge a flat commission—typically 8-14% depending on item complexity and market conditions. Storage and insurance recommendations are additional. We'll give you a written breakdown before anything moves forward. No surprises, ever.
Depends on what you're after. Common bottles? Two to four weeks usually. Rare vintages or specific luxury pieces? Could be 6-12 weeks. We've got connections, but we won't rush authentication or provenance checks just to speed things up. Better to wait than end up with something questionable sitting in your cellar.
Yes and no. We guarantee authenticity on everything we source directly. We'll provide documentation and insurance recommendations. But market values fluctuate—that's wine and luxury goods. What we guarantee is honest assessment upfront. We tell you if something's overpriced or underpriced, even if it costs us a sale.
We're based in Galați, but we work nationwide—and internationally when it makes sense. Some clients we've never met in person. We handle consultations via phone and video, arrange shipping and insurance, coordinate with auction houses. Geography isn't really a barrier anymore.
