Encave connects private collectors to buy and sell fine wine. We facilitate payment and trust — we never take possession of the bottle.
Search or scan your bottle, upload verification photos (front label, fill level, capsule), set your reserve and auction window. You stay in control of pricing.
Live timed auctions with transparent bid history. Buyer fees are shown before checkout — no hidden premiums. The payment itself is taken by our payment provider, and Encave holds back the seller payout until delivery is confirmed.
Buyer and seller arrange handover directly in-app. Once delivery is confirmed, the seller's payout is released. The platform never touches the bottle.
Buyers must be private individuals buying for personal consumption. Trade-buyer throttling keeps the platform within AWRS private-individual exemptions. Age verification at signup, not checkout.
