I don't understand how to buy wine through an auction when European rules say that the seller has to pay excise duty in the buyer's country.

@ Ben61

Perhaps one of the many winegrowers in France, Spain, Italy, etc., can answer this. After all, they have been selling wine to foreign tourists for decades :-)
You should ask this question to the relevant auctioneers and / or customer service, the auction company Catawiki has successfully dealt with many issues regarding the sale of alcohol.

Winegrowers selling to tourists have nothing to do with internet purchases. But yes, the auctioneers should be able to explain this. Let's wait and see if someone here can and wants to say something about it.

Auctioneers do not check this collector's forum, you will really need to contact auctioneers or customer service directly.

Have a look for the word "excise" in the forum. Apparently does not occur for the rest. Has no one ever wondered about this then?

Maybe because this is irrelevant to most collectors. After all, this is a collectors forum.

Also search under tax on the forum, you will find a lot of information.

So "forum & gt; wine & gt; wine general" is a collectors forum?

Indeed. Has nothing to do with the sale of wines.

So there is no forum about wine purchases on Catawiki?

And the topics you see here: https://forum.catawiki.nl/forums/423-wijn-algemeen? So it's all about collecting?

Perhaps a reference to the forum rules is appropriate here. With emphasis on the section Catawiki forum and the Catawiki auctions

In the past, auction-related issues were sometimes raised here, but we don't do that anymore because these are often questions that must be answered by auctioneers and they just don't read this forum. This often led to discussions that have nothing to do with collecting and because, as mentioned before, this is a collectors forum, we have put a stop to that.

Which is what we do in this case as well.
