The Collector Manifesto
What it means to collect fine wine with confidence, and what Club dVIN's Collector tier was built to give you.
There is a moment every serious wine lover knows.
You're standing in front of a bottle, perhaps in a merchant's cellar, perhaps at auction, perhaps on your own rack at home, and you realise that you know exactly which wine you want. You know the estate. You know the vintage. You know the story behind the rows of vines from which those grapes were picked.
What you don't know is whether the bottle in front of you is the real thing.
That uncertainty, quiet but persistent, is the gap between what the fine wine market offers and what a serious collector actually needs.
The Collector tier was built to close that gap. Permanently.
Collect with confidence.
This is not a marketing phrase. It is a structural promise.
Every bottle that passes through Club dVIN travels a single, unbroken path: from the estate that made it, to a bonded warehouse in Bordeaux, to your cellar. Every step recorded. Every link in the chain verified. No intermediaries, no auction houses, no secondary market surprises.
What you see in your Club dVIN digital cellar is exactly what it says it is, because it came directly from the people who made it.
This is what "collect with confidence" means. Not a feeling. A guarantee.
The five privileges of Collector membership.
Five things the most discerning collectors told us they couldn't find anywhere else. We built the Collector tier around every one.
Exclusive allocations
Rare wines direct from legendary estates (Angélus, Charles Lachaux, d'Yquem, Mouton Rothschild, Ausone), reserved for members before they reach the open market.
Perfect provenance
Every bottle verified, every chain of custody transparent. Grape to glass, fully accounted for. Collect without doubt.
Unparalleled pricing
Direct estate relationships, exceptional value. No auction markups, no retail premiums, just the fairest prices in fine wine, straight from the producer.
Global delivery
Climate-controlled logistics to 40+ countries. Your wine arrives in perfect condition, wherever life takes you.
A global community
The privilege members never expected to value most. A worldwide network of collectors, winemakers, Masters of Wine, and connoisseurs, and the experiences that bring it to life: estate visits, private tastings, Wine Wednesdays, intimate dinners.
Experience without limits.
The Collector tier is not a subscription service for bottles. It is membership in a circle.
A circle that has tasted Pétrus 2021 alongside its producer. That has walked the rows at Château Ausone at dawn in October, the mist still in the valley. That meets every Wednesday to share what they've opened, what they've discovered, what they can't stop thinking about.
Your digital cellar holds your entire collection: provenance records, tasting notes, custody history, shipping requests. Everything in one place, always current, always yours.
This is what membership looks like when it's done with care.
The proof, not the promise.
Everything above is a promise. This is the proof.
The Wine Drop Catalogue is a glimpse at what Collector members actually reach: rare allocations, library vintages, and hard-to-find bottles sourced direct from the world's most legendary estates, verified, climate-stored, and shipped on demand to over forty countries.
The proof, not the promise.
A few of the names inside:
- Château Pétrus 2021, Pomerol's monument, expressive and alive even in a cool year.
- Château Mouton Rothschild, 2009 & 2020, a legendary vintage and the Gerhard Richter label, side by side.
- Château d'Yquem, four vintages, including the near-perfect 2015, one of the greatest sweet wines ever made.
- Château Ausone 2022, the first wine of a new era at one of Saint-Émilion's smallest, oldest estates.
- Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, Louis Latour, Burgundy at its most ethereal.
- Charles Lachaux, Barolo Cerequio Riserva 2016, Bollinger R.D. 2008, Almaviva, and dozens more across Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Italy, and beyond.
And one bottle you will find nowhere else: Over The Line "BZ" Cuvée Imperial, a members' wine, just 250 ever made.
This is not a price list. It is a record of what perfect provenance looks like when it arrives at your door.
Who the Collector tier is for.
You know wine. You collect with intention. You've grown quietly frustrated with the gap between what the fine wine market offers and what a serious collector actually needs.
You want provenance without question. Access without compromise. Experience without limits.
The Collector tier is €500 per year.
Everything described above is included.
One question remains.
Are you ready to collect with confidence?
"Collect with confidence, experience without limits."
Club dVIN, the private member's circle, since 2020.
