An exit strategy allows wine collectors to liquidate their assets. AWI experts recommend the 'when and where' of these strategies to our clients. Our strong network of merchants has now expanded into Hong Kong and Shanghai especially since China and Hong Kong now command around 60% of the Asian wine market. In a boost to Hong Kong's bid to become Asia's fine-wine trade hub, wine import taxes were removed in 2008.

Auction houses like Christie’s and Sotheby’s have started wine auction businesses in Hong Kong, while Bonham’s also conducted wine auctions there from April 2008 with an impressive hammer rate of 96.4%. Where possible AWI will endeavour to on sell clients wines directly to private investors, therefore there are no auction house fees to be paid.

A high degree of protocol ensures that our clients and buyers are in agreement over the sale of quality commodity, only clients are able to withdraw wines from Menlo Worldwide Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (MWAP) with written permission. Even as buyers and AWI have come to an agreement on the trade, no bottles can be moved from Menlo Worldwide Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (MWAP) until our clients' consent is obtained.
