Sotheby’s has gone into the retail wine business in New York City.
The auction house has bought out Aulden Cellars, the retail wine store on the ground floor of its headquarters on the upscale Upper East Side. The new, redesigned shop is called Sotheby’s Wine. It is the first of its kind for the company.
Jamie Ritchie, president and CEO, Sotheby’s Wine, Americas and Asia said that if its Manhattan store is successful it may open Sotheby’s Wine stores elsewhere in the US. (Decanter / 21 September 2010)
