WINEBID.COM® OFFERS 2000 BORDEAUX FUTURES DURING ONLINE AUCTION
Napa California: WineBid.com, the world's premier Internet auction of fine and rare wines,
will offer 2000 Bordeaux futures during its online auction from July 14-28, 2002. It is the first time
that Bordeaux futures have been offered at an online auction and WineBid.com expects active bidding.
Critics have been raving about the 2000 Bordeaux ever since they tasted their first sips of this
outstanding vintage, calling it one of the best vintages in many years. Robert M. Parker Jr. wrote
earlier this year that 2000 "is the greatest vintage Bordeaux has ever produced." And James Suckling
of Wine Spectator wrote in June, 2001, "there is no doubt that 2000 will be a landmark vintage
for Bordeaux."
With so much interest in the 2000 vintage, futures are highly coveted and difficult to acquire.
That's why at WineBid.com we are pleased to offer these 2000 futures for delivery in the summer
of 2003: Haut-Brion; Lafite-Rothschild; Latour; Margaux; Mouton-Rothschild. All received between
96 and 100 point scores from Robert M. Parker Jr.
Founded in 1996, WineBid.com is the world's largest online auction of rare and fine wines with
more that 21,000 registered users worldwide. WineBid.com appraises and inspects each bottle of
wine consigned before putting wines up for auction.
