"Whether you're a novice wine lover, enthusiastic collector or sophisticated entertainer there is a blend, a collection, an experience that will captivate everyone," said project manager Elisha Milmine.

Preparations for the auction had been ongoing since the previous event and involved more than 80 corporate partners, who had pitched in to ensure all auction proceeds could be donated to Cranford Hospice.
