Sotheby’s has long been the purveyor of the finest collectables, including wine. This October, the auction house partners with Cité du Vin for the third edition of Wine and Dine Experiences | Benefiting the Wine Culture Heritage, offering 64 curated lots up for online auction. It presents everything from vintage bottles to the singular, most expensive wines like the 1869 label – the iconic first batch that the Rothschild family produced in their Médoc chateau winery – in the process, fashioning an indulgent experience driven by the brand’s signature heritage and status. The sale runs from 7 October through 27 October with the singular aim to raise funds in support of the Foundation for Wine Culture and Civilizations and its noble pursuit to safeguard and share the universal heritage of wine with a wider audience.
