Andrew Lloyd Webber auctions priceless wine collection for children’s music charity

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber is set to auction a significant portion of his private wine collection, with proceeds earmarked for a charity dedicated to providing music education to disadvantaged children. The sale, managed by auction house Christie’s, features an array of rare and valuable vintages, including a 1900 Chateau Margaux estimated to fetch up to £7,000.

The "remarkable" collection, stored for decades in the cellars of the composer’s Hampshire country estate, comprises "bottles, magnums and large formats from the most revered vineyards and finest vintages of the past century."
