“Over the last two years, we have significantly expanded our support of charitable organisations by developing partnerships that provide greater awareness of each cause and our clients with opportunities to engage in new events and with different philanthropic causes. Our partnership with Golden Vines is a very exciting development for Sotheby’s Wine as it highlights the important need to enhance diversity and inclusion in the wine, spirits and hospitality industries, while being a truly world class event. It also resonates with our mission to broaden access to producers and their communities and follows a similar direction to the work we have being doing with the Hospices de Beaune, Napa Valley Vintners and Distillers’ Charity. France is emerging as a leader in charity wine auctions, where the wines are sourced directly from producers, and these sales add to the growing appeal of buying from Sotheby’s Wine in France, where we established a new team in 2021. The fact that Golden Vines’ third edition will be held in Paris is testament to the enthusiasm and attraction of international wine lovers buying in France.”
