Andrew Lloyd Webber to Sell Rest of Wine Collection at Auction

The Drinks Business reports that Christie’s will sell the final tranche of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s wine collection, with proceeds going to the Music in Secondary Schools Trust. The bottles come from the cellars at Sydmonton Court, some having been held for more than 50 years, and the sale follows the disposal of most of his collection back in 2011. Beyond the celebrity angle, it shows how elite private cellars continue to supply the fine wine auction market, with provenance and philanthropy adding extra pull for bidders.
