Hong Kong – On Saturday, May 25, Fine & Rare Wines Sale at Christie’s Hong Kong totaled HK$48,899,796 /US$6,332,524, and was sold 95% by lot and by value.

Simon Tam, Head of Wine, China, said: “These results illustrate the wine market’s continuing demand for Bordeaux and investible grades of wines from all over the world. Our auction was well-received by providing in-depth knowledge of this dynamic market and appropriate estimates, which resulted in over 96% of the wine selling within and above its estimate range. In addition, wine collectors enjoyed the added appeal of ‘Perfect Pairings’, pairing recommendations that match a broad range of fine wine to Asian cuisine styles.”
