A quick and smooth process. Very good customer service. I was given some old bottles and just wanted to sell them and get the money, Squelch made the whole process effortless. Out of all the website I looked at, Squelch seemed the best option and it didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend.

This is so great to hear. It's always been so tricky to sell winey odds and sods, so we're glad you found us and we could help :)
The entire process worked very well.
There is a good selection of high quality wines with some at great prices.
I have now purchased a number of bottles and every time it has all been delivered and was as described.

Thanks so much for dropping us such a lovely review. Enjoy your bottles!
Two quick sales, which ran smoothly, once I got used to the procedure.

We're so thrilled to hear about your quick successes. Here's to many more - cheers!
Squelch is great for wine-lovers. I found two lovely bottles of Chablis on the Squelch website - really easy to navigate and the seller got them in the post to me the following day

Thank you Harry! So glad to hear delivery went exactly the way we like it. Keep Squelching!
I love Squelch. Been using it since Oct '25 and found many great wines already. Prices are always good, with most bottles priced better than you could get elsewhere. I'm going to be using it a lot!

Thanks Nicholas! That's just the kind of thing we like to read :) Keep Squelching!
I am elderly and now often have problems when using an app. However I quickly learnt how to use the Squelch app, and loaded the details of a bottle of wine in short time. I was particularly impressed with the help in pricing it. I sold the wine surprisingly within days, and the sale money came through without delay.

Thank you Dr Peter. We're so pleased to hear that the site is intuitive. Getting the balance right between folk who regularly use winey sites and those who don't has challenges, so thank you for the reassurance that we're on the right lines
Brilliant platform for buying wine. Some fantastic bargins to be had too, from well known classics to obscurities, and there's something for all price points and tastes. I particularly apprecited that there are so many wines properly aged and in their prime drinking window.
Super easy to navigate too and all my purchases have been totally painless. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Thank you for taking the time to review us - appreciated. Keep Squelching!
I found a couple of bottles of Port - great price, delivered much quicker than I thought and arrived in perfect condition - one was a gift for a friend. Great experience. Thank you Team Squelch!

Thank you for the review! Given that you had to give one bottle away, we suggest you get straight back on the Grapevine to buy another :)

Right back atcha! So glad to have you on board as a valued Squelcher
I stumbled upon Squelch a few months ago and immediately liked the format over other auction sites and also the immediacy of the transaction - I have made numerous purchases since then from various sellers and they have always been very straightforward honest transactions, good value and the wines have arrived promptly. Nothing not to like!

Fabulous wine! Quick, easy, safe and amazing value! My wine cellar is growing in direct contrast to my bank balance!
Reply from Squelch
Haha. We know how you feel - the Grapevine is pretty addictive!
Really like this new online trading platform. Aimed at private individuals who want to sell odd bottles, or multiple. It's best feature is the comparison to market price. Helps both sellers and buyers.

Thank you so much for the kind review! Stay tuned - a new and improved version of the market price tool rolling out on the homepage soon!
Platform works really well, and both buying and selling experiences have been great so far. Recommended.

Thank you Neil. We thoroughly appreciate the feedback
It was a little daunting at first as i was well out of my comfort zone selling a bottle on line . But it was very straightforward once i got my head around it . A massive thankyou to James Fletcher for guiding me through the process from basically start to finish ! His professional manner in talking me through the process was invaluable. Thankyou !

Thank you so much Tony. We're so pleased to hear that the user experience passed the test. And knowing James as we do, we're pleasantly surprised to hear him called a professional :)
I recently sold my wine collection on Squelch and had a really smooth experience. The platform made it easy to list my bottles, connect with interested buyers, and finalize sales without any hassle. I appreciated how straightforward everything felt, from pricing to communication. Overall, it was a convenient and efficient way to sell a collection, and I’d definitely consider using it again in the future.

I’m so happy I discovered this fabulous service. I started as a buyer and picked up some delicious wines and have also tried my hand at selling bottles which I’m pleased to say was much easier than I feared. Highly recommend.

Thank you Lucy. So exciting that you graduated to selling. We look forward to seeing more of your lovely bottles on the Grapevine. Keep Squelching!
