Berry Bros & Rudd

An auctioneer's guide to Berry Bros & Rudd

Berry Bros & Rudd is Britain's oldest wine and spirits merchant, and one of the oldest family-run companies in the UK. It can trace its origins back to 1698, when the Widow Bourne established a shop opposite St James's Palace. Although the company now has offices around the world, the present generations of Berrys and Rudds continue to manage the business from Number Three, the original shop on St James's Street.
