First Growth
Second hand wine auctions are arranged by many major auction houses, such as Zachys, Acker, Hart Davis Hart, Christie's and Sotheby's. In 2019, Zachys was the top seller with over $121,000,000 in sale. Prices for many wines at these auctions are used as a price indication for collectible wine when traded through other channels, such as First Growth Bordeaux wines sold by rare wine dealers, or when négociants sell mature wines from their stock to restaurants.
