Trust & seriousness

Certified restaurants for your bottles

Before receiving your bottles on consignment, every partner restaurant goes through a certification process that verifies their actual storage conditions.

Verified storage conditions

Surface area, temperature, humidity, and conservation methods are declared and documented by every partner restaurant.

📷

Backed by photos and videos

Every restaurant provides photos and videos of their storage space to document their actual conditions.

Human validation by our team

An AI analysis score helps our team, but final certification is always a human decision.

What you want to know

At the end of the 90-day consignment period, we return your bottles to you free of charge. You can also choose to extend the consignment or adjust the price with our team.

Not at all. A few photos of your bottles and basic information are enough. Our sommelier team handles the valuation and guides you at every step.

There is no minimum. You can consign a single bottle or an entire cellar. Each case is treated with the same care by our team.

Restaurants pay Cavelink only after selling the bottles to their guests. Monthly invoicing, no advance required — that's the consignment principle.

Our commission depends on the sales channel: 15% for consignment, 13% for direct sale, with no hidden fees or sign-up costs.
