The 161st auction is well underway, but there is still time to get involved.  From our experience the auction usually ends sometime after 10pm on Sunday night, which gives you plenty of time to get bids in.

We would also like to point out that for our customers in the United States, Asia and further afield this auction is the last one where we can get your bottles to you before the Christmas break, so if you are looking for that special Christmas tipple this may be your last chance.  See our update here for further details.
