Created by Hong Kong wine merchant Links Concept and a group of Asia-based wine specialists, Bidvino.com is a new online wine auction website aimed at private collectors and those ‘who appreciate a great drop’.

The weekly auctions ends at 3pm HKT on Thursdays and is open to bidders across the globe and all listed wines are stored in the group’s temperature controlled warehousing in Kowloon Bay ensuring immaculate provenance.
