Tim Triptree

Spear’s Review

Master of Wine Tim Triptree is international director of wine and spirits at Christie’s, where he curates, plans and executes its slate of global auctions. Based in London, Triptree is also focused on developing relationships with his clientele, sourcing consignments and hosting events and masterclasses.

Promoted to his current role in 2018, Triptree has overseen a number of important sales, including the record-breaking sale of a Romanée-Conti 1988 case that fetched £264,000 in 2018. A look at his department’s recent activity shows that this strong run of form continues: in April 2023 it hammered a collection of fine and rare wines for nearly £2 million.
