Wine auction
The wine auctions, a collaboration between the Norwegian Wine Monopoly and Blomqvist, are held six times a year. We are currently accepting consignments for our upcoming auctions.
The Vinimonopolets Wineauctions are a collaboration between the Norwegian Wine Monopoly, Vinmonopolet, and Blomqvist Auction House.
Please contact Sara Frimanslund at [email protected] or +47 957 07 735 for a valuation of your collection. Please note that the auctions are filled up as consignments come in so they may be full before the consignment deadline. All auctions run for about 10 - 12 days on Blomqvist´s website. Blomqvist, in collaboration with Vinmonopolet, has since November 2013 held wine and spirits auctions with splendid results, and consignments have exceeded all expectations. Wine auctions are held by Blomqvist on behalf of Vinmonopolet. Consignments are submitted by private individuals and appraised by experts from Vinmonopolet.

Collection and distribution of purchased lots
The first time you place a bid you will be asked if you would like to collect your purchased lots at Blomqvist or if you would like to have your purchased lots sent to a wine monopoly in Bergen, Sandefjord, Stavanger, Trondheim, Ålesund or Hamar. If you choose one of these wine monopolies, the cost for transport will be NOK 150 per 12 bottles. Unfortunately, neither Blomqvist or Vinmonopolet can send bottles abroad.
The deadline to collect purchased lots at Blomqvist is 14 days. If lots are not collected within this time, your lot will be subject to storage fees of NOK 140 per week (not including public holidays).
How to sell
In order to consign wine or spirits to our auctions you must first report your bottle to Vinmonopolet for valuation. You will find the registration form and additional information on how to proceed on the Vinmonopolet website. Once the lot has been approved for sale, you may contact Blomqvist to arrange delivery of the bottle by emailing [email protected]. Final valuation, estimate and the starting bid value will be set upon further inspection of the bottles. Read more about how to sell here.
How to buy
Our wine and spirits auctions are held online only. Here you will find all the lots carefully described and evaluated by specialists from Vinmonopolet. To purchase lots from Blomqvist's online auction you must first be registered as a user on the website and confirm that you are above 18 years of age. Once you have logged in, accepted the terms & conditions, confirmed your age and registered a valid payment card, you will find the online catalogue here.
About wine auctions and rights
In addition to Vinmonopolet's monopoly on the sale of alcohol in ordinary shops, Vinmonopolet has also been given the monopoly to arrange auctions. Sales are to be run in a controlled way and with age checks. Relevant provisions for auctions are laid down in the Norwegian Alcohol Act Section 3-1, sixth part and the Procurement Regulations Chapter 7A.
