Legal Policies
Bid for Wine allows you to buy wine from or sell wine to another party if you have the legal capacity to do so.
The sale and purchase of alcohol in the United Kingdom is subject to strict legal controls, however:
- If you are a holder of a relevant licence, then you may trade within the terms of that licence.
- Unlicensed users may sell any wines they own that are stored in a bonded warehouse if the warehouse itself is licensed.
Licensed warehouses include EHD No.1 Bond, Octavian, London City Bond/Vinotheque, Seckfords and The Wine Society's Member's Reserve. - If you do not hold a licence, there are some other circumstances in which you may buy and sell alcohol directly, particularly where a sale is made to a trader for the purpose of his trade.
