Ever looked at a wine auction and thought, this feels intimidating, where do I even start? In this episode of the WinedUp Podcast, we sit down with Dan Packham to break down wine auctions in a clear, practical way for everyday wine drinkers. I am Jason, joined by Trent, and together we explore how wine auctions really work, why people use them, and how you can find aged wines that you simply will not see on normal retail shelves. We talk through Dan’s first wine auction purchase, what he looks for before bidding, and the real risks involved, from storage issues to fake wines. We also open and taste two wines bought at auction and share whether they were smart buys or expensive lessons. If you are curious about aged wine, Burgundy, Bordeaux, or simply want to stretch your wine budget further, this episode is for you. Whether you are brand new to auctions or already bidding online, you will walk away with practical tips, clearer thinking, and more confidence. Wine auctions do not have to feel exclusive or scary, but they do reward curiosity and patience. Stick around to the end for Dan’s best advice on how to approach wine auctions without getting burned.
