Collection Management

• Selling
  Representation by Chai Consulting professionals ensures that your needs and best interest are paramount and protected, not the needs of an auction house or retailer. Our strong ties to US auction houses guarantee the best auction reserves and commissions possible. Utilizing established relationships with brokers and retailers around the country and abroad, we will compare auction prices and payment schedules as well as retail offers available to ensure the highest maximum return on your investment.
• Acquisitions
  Our expert knowledge of the international wine market including a keen ability to read and speculate on future trends gives our clients an advantage buying at the best possible prices. Keeping up with multiple auction catalogues and sales plus offers from retailers can be very time consuming, confusing and frustrating. Our professionals manage this for you acquiring at the best possible prices whether we have come up with a broad plan for acquisitions, or are executing a specific one-time wish list of items to purchase.
• Consumption
  Based on your personal consumption rates and habits, we offer constantly updated buying and selling strategies to make sure your cellar is always ready to serve your needs. Chai Consulting experts advise on optimum consumption time-tables for old and rare wines as well as food & wine pairing combinations for dinner parties or special events using the wines in your private collection.  Locations permitting, we can physically update online and physical inventories with regular cellar visits.
