“Another good result for fine wine at King Street as global buyers competed for high quality lots with exceptional provenance. This sale brings the total wine sold this week in London to a very healthy £850,000 with 86% of lots being sold – a good result in any market. We were particular pleased with the result of the evening charity sale which was 100% sold and raised £69,000 for The Bahia Street Trust and The Cardinal Hume Centre.”
