We have members in 47 countries, each of them a vetted, reputable business, eliminating the risk of working with new businesses and cross-border deals. Every wine listed on the Exchange is a firm commitment to sell, meaning no back and forth and no abandoned deals.
Lix-ex not only moves wine sold on the Exchange from Seller to Buyer, but we also act as the single point of contact for every deal, we pay sellers as soon as the stock is authenticated, and handle all the paperwork, so you don’t have to.

Liv-ex moves wine from seller to buyer, checks and verifies wine in our high tech, bonded warehouses, and ensures sellers are paid correctly and on time.
Liv-ex members can see the regional value of wines, helping them to identify opportunities to drive the highest margins.
At Liv-ex we’ve dramatically reduced the time it takes for wine businesses to value wine, by bringing a wealth of data points into one place.
Through automated selling, wine businesses can achieve greater sales, and with Liv-ex logistics services, increased sales doesn’t mean increased admin.
It’s very different from dealing with other merchants, where you can’t be entirely sure if the wine is still available. On Liv-ex, the stock is guaranteed: prices are live, bids and offers are firm commitments, and you know the wine is available.Rodolphe de Noose Ovinia
