Vintage cognac auctions: Hennessy, Martell and rare bottlings, searched at once

Vintage cognac from established houses like Hennessy and Martell spans decorative decanters and presentation bottles through to genuinely old, rare vintage-dated bottlings, and house, age classification (VS, VSOP, XO) and bottle condition all factor into value. A large-format bottle, an unusual presentation case, or a discontinued bottling can all carry real premiums over standard current releases.

Why vintage cognac lots get missed

General household sellers frequently list a cognac bottle simply as "old brandy bottle" without naming the house or age classification, so a genuinely rare or vintage-dated bottling can be sitting in a listing indistinguishable from an ordinary decanter.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search a house name like "Hennessy" or "Martell," an age classification, or "vintage cognac" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "vintage cognac bottle": genuine rare Hennessy and Martell cognac bottles and decanters, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for the houses you collect

Save a search (a house name, an age classification, or "vintage cognac" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching cognac lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Built for how cognac collectors actually work

Save any lot with one click from search results, export your shortlist as a printable PDF or CSV before a sale, and on the day itself the optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator, so your maximum (with buyer's premium and any applicable taxes included) is always in front of you.
