I have bought 4 bottles of wine from Winebid.com as I thought I am buying from a reputable company; however, I was very disappointed when I received my recent purchase. When I opened the bottle the cork was completely dried out and crumbled in my hands. The wine was unfit for consumption; it smelled and tasted like vinegar. It had not been properly stored. I contacted Winebid.com and they did not take any action: we do not refund for bad wines, we appreciate hearing from you, as we do keep records on all bad bottle complaints was their reply. Also they state: Please understand that we do not guarantee the quality of the wines at auction. Winebid.com sells spoiled wine and refuses to be responsible for that. Buyers beware!!!Do not buy from that website.

I have bought a large number of wines through WineBid. Most of the wines that I have purchased through WineBid have been good, but they do not assess the color and clarity of the wine in the bottle. I recently bought 3 old bottles that are obviously flawed. The bottles look good, but when you hold them up to light, you can see the wine inside is flawed. In one bottle, the wine is muddy brown, clody and thin. In the other 2 it is clear. I received other bottles in the same shipment from the same makers that were fine and I compared them to bottles in my cellar. I immediately informed Wine Bid, but they refused to take them referring to their "as is" policy. I have decided not to purchase from them and advise prospective buyers to avoid older bottles or at least to inquire about the color and clarity of wines (especially old ones) before buying from WineBid.
