Bin Ends & Broking

 

So, what exactly are bin ends? And from where does the broking stock come? All this is explained below, but load up your bargain-detecting software and set your mouse to "extreme click".

 

Bin Ends

 

A bin, in wine terms, is simply a part of the cellar where one stores wine. Say the cellar is divided up into 100 bins, each separated by a partition of some sort. Then imagine that each bin contains bottles of a single vintage of the same wine; for argument’s sake imagine that a particular bin starts out full to the gunwales with 1929 Château Latour. This wine has been on one's wine list for some time and now there are but a few bottles remaining, rolling around at the bottom of the bin. What you really would like to do is to get rid of them quickly, thereby freeing up the bin, perhaps for the 1930 vintage (quel dommage; it was a dog). The natural inclination is to knock a slab off the ticket and call a few close friends and especially favoured customers.

 

Our bin ends are simply a variation on this rather old-fashioned theme. Rather than wine sitting in our own bins, this list features wine held in our company account at Octavian; wine which we'd much rather sell, albeit sometimes with a reduced margin, than having it continue to tie up capital and accrue storage charges. Wines on this list are the remnants of offers past and, as such, have all passed rigorous selection tasting. There are superb wines on this list, many quite a bit more mature than when we first offered them…and, on the whole, at a lower price. This is your chance to take advantage of your wine merchant. Feel free!

Broking Stock

 

Why ever do people sell wine that they've gone to all the trouble to buy and cellar for years? Have they tried it and found it to be intensely rank? Are the corks full of weevils and the bottles half empty?

 

Fortunately for us, the answer is most often entirely innocent. Some people simply overshoot and have more wine than they can possibly ever consume (a personal fantasy of mine). Others have found themselves expatriate for far longer than they ever expected and suddenly wake up to find they have tranches of wine coming ready to drink, with no chance of ever enjoying them before decrepitude sets in (personal nightmare). In any event, this offers a chance to buy wine that is often more or less mature, of excellent provenance and quite frequently wine that is unavailable elsewhere. So that's all good news then…
