Fine Wine Auction For Earthquake Appeal
Hi from The Poole Family & The Fine Wine Delivery Company Team
The Christchurch Earthquake has marked a very dark day in NZ history. To see our fellow kiwis suffering, injured, losing loved ones, their homes and businesses destroyed is heartbreaking to say the least.
We've deferred our normal promotional activity for a 48 hour period as this is a time for all New Zealanders to get on and do what we can to help our deeply devastated Christchurch community.
Christchurch needs our help and here's one way our family, our team and our customers can all contribute...
We are putting up for auction three cases of our rare Selection Series dozens valued at $4000 each (with the help of our customers we hope to successfully auction all three cases and gift all proceeds to the cause). Even if you are unable to bid for one of the dozens, you can greatly assist by forwarding this auction offer as broadly as possible in a hope to maximise the funds raised.
The auction:
The Fine Wine Delivery Company Selection Series Dozen valued at $4000
A selection of 12 rare wines collected by and aged in the professional wine cellar storage facilities of The Fine Wine Delivery Company.
Endorsed as a magnificent selection of wines by Masters of Wine, Steve Smith, Jane Skilton and Alastair Maling, all of the wines are in pristine condition and drinking superbly.
We have released 7 of the 18 dozens to several NZ Charities and they have fetched on average $4,000 per dozen (one went for $20,000!). Secure yourself one of the rarest selections of fine wine and help support our devastated Christchurch community.
100% of proceeds go to the Red Cross Appeal
A full list of the wines and tasting notes can be found below
How to bid or donate:
1. We will take all bids via email to wine@finewinedelivery.co.nz
(please include your name and contact phone number in email)
2. We will email bidders an update twice on Thursday, and twice on Friday. 30mins before the auction closes at 3pm on Friday we will consistenly update as bids change so you know if you are in the lead right up to the last minute. You can increase your bid at any time.
3. We will sell up to 3 dozen based on meeting the reserves of $3000 per dozen (we want to get as much money as we can for Christchurch)
4. Dozens will be sold to the top three bidders reaching or surpassing the $3,000 reserve.
5. All major credit cards and direct credit payment options. Payment must be made immediately upon notification of winning the auction. FWDC will cover any credit card commissions and delivery (in NZ only) so that 100% of funds raised are donated.
6. We will announce auction winners publicly but equally we will respect the wishes of those who do not want their names published.
We know not everyone can afford this kind of donation, but there are many out there that can and would love to enjoy this special rare selection. So please forward this on to as many people as possible...
• A special treat for a private wine connoisseur.
• Corporates: this would be a very special and rare tasting to share with your top clients or partners.
• Friends: get a group together to bid and you can all share in these amazing, rare wine experiences.
If you’re not able to bid, you can make any donations directly to Red Cross http://www.redcross.org.nz/donate
