Bonhams Hong Kong Wine Auction a 100% Success
http://www.bonhams.com/hongkong
Bonhams Hong Kong’s wine auction held on 20 May was a resounding success with 100% of the 90 lots sold, achieving a total of HK$2,041,207.
Continuing Bonhams innovative approach to wine auctions, the presentation of this sale took the format of an intimate private dinner held at the Harbour Room of the Island Shangri-La Hong Kong attended by key customers. A carefully selected menu was paired with fine wines for the guests’ enjoyment, turning the evening into a gastronomic event.
Bonhams was the first auction house to resume wine auctions in Hong Kong in April 2008 after a 10-year hiatus, Bonhams again pioneered a new wine auction format by presenting Hong Kong’s first “homegrown” wine auction with consignments sourced from local collectors and buyers coming from Hong Kong and mainland China.
“We are delighted to be here in Hong Kong for our fourth wine auction since April 2008. In our opinion, the market has stabilised with prices for fine wines continuing to achieve above average results at auctions,” said Malcolm Barber, Chief Executive Officer of the Bonhams Group.
