Wine auction

View the June wine auction results

Our wine auctions have moved to Fornebu, all bottles must now be collected at Rolfsbuktveien 4e-f.

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. The catalogue is published on our website 10-12 days before the auction. Blomqvist, in collaboration with Vinmonopolet, has since November 2013 then held wine & 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.

Plan for auctions in 2020

All bottle delivery  is at Blomqvist at Fornebu! You can find us at Rolfsbuktveien 4 e-f, 1364 Fornebu.

Changes in distribution:

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.

Changes in bottle collection in Oslo:

The collection deadline has been extended from one week to 14 days. If lots are not collected within this time, you will receive a warning that storage charges will be accrued and shortly afterwards you will be charged NOK 140 in storage charges per week there after (not including public holidays).

How to sell:

In order to consign wine, beer 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 their website. Once the bottle is approved for sale, you may contact Blomqvist Kunsthandel to arrange delivery of the bottle: [email protected]. Final valuation and the starting price will be set on inspection of the bottles. Read more about how to sell here.

How to buy:

Our wine, beer and spirits auctions are held online only. Here you will find all the lots carefully described and valuated by specialists from the wine monopoly. To purchase lots from Blomqvist's online auction you must first be registered as a user and have confirmed that you are over 18 years of age. Once you have logged in, accepted the terms & conditions as well as confirmed your age, you will find the online catalogue here.
