A Devon wildlife charity was today eagerly looking ahead to a prestigious fundraising auction after the Prince of Wales handed over one of his own artistic creations to help support the cause. Prince Charles has donated one of his own lithographs of the River Dart to be sold at an art auction on October 15 in aid of the Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT). The Royal masterpiece will join 60 other artworks for the sale at Rendells 'Stonepark auction rooms in Ashburton to help protect the future of the River Dart. The signed lithograph, which measures 12 inches by 16 inches, is the Prince's proof of Glen Gairn in Aberdeenshire. Clive Morgan, from Rendells, said: "We are delighted to be able to host this important event for the Devon Wildlife Trust particularly as the future of the River Dart and its catchment area is so important to the surrounding countryside in which we operate." Well known local artist Simon Drew leant his support to the project by asking fellow creatives to donate their work. He said: "We appealed to local artists who have drawn inspiration from the river and its surroundings to give something back - a chance to help protect wildlife by capturing the spirit of the Dart or Dartmoor its wildlife or landscape. "Our sincere thanks go to all those who have taken the time to support this project and to donate some really interesting pieces." DWT fundraising officer, Amanda Sherwin, said: "We have had a great response with donations from artists such as Robin Armstrong, John Rochester and Jilly Sutton. "We hope to raise in the region of 7,000 on the day, so please come along and support local artists and wildlife. "The range of items on offer is very varied from paintings to ceramic pots, wooden automata to felt wall hangings, so there should be something for everyone." Money raised from the auction will go towards the DWT's Dart Catchment Project which aims to restore habitats, tackle pollution hotspots and mobilise local people to keep the Dart safe for future generations. The DWT still needs to raise more than 50,000 to fund the project, which finishes at the end of next year. For further information or a catalogue go to Rendells website at www.rendells.co.uk or contact them by phone on 01364 653017.

A work by Dan O'Neill - Dreams, self-portrait, oil on board, sold for 10,000 while one by John B Vallely - The Sligo Fiddle Trio, another oil, made 7,500. There was strong bidding, too, for William Conor's Resting on the Park Bench, a wax crayon on paper, which hit a hammer at 6,200. Two other Conors realised 6,000 and 3,400.

"The most expensive wine ever sold remains a single bottle of Chateau Lafite 1787, which purportedly belonged to Thomas Jefferson," said Peter D. Meltzer, "Wine Spectator" auction correspondent. "It was bought at Christie's London in December 1985 for $155,242 by the late Malcolm Forbes." No one is sure who has sold the priciest bottle at an online wine auction. But certainly a contender is the six-liter bottle of Domaine de la RomaneLe-Conti La Tache 1990 for $35,000. This was WineBid.com's biggest sale since it began selling wine online in September 1996. Today, there's a "huge demand for the most expensive wines," said Jerry Zech, Napa-based WineBid.com's chief executive officer, especially Burgundy, first-growth Bordeaux, and California's best vintages. There are two places to buy fine wines in an auction: in the Internet wine auctions held by such companies as WineBid.com, WineCommune.com, Acker Merrall & Condit (www.ackerwines.com), and Morrell & Company (www.morrellwineauctions.com), and at the traditional bricks-and-mortar auction houses such as NYWinesChristie's, Sotheby's London or Zachys Auctions in Los Angeles. In 2004, major auction houses marked a milestone with a 13 percent increase over the previous year, and for "the first time since 1999, worldwide sales of fine and rare wine at auction topped the $100 million mark," according to Meltzer, with wine sales totaling $109 million. Worldwide Internet auction sales also increased 29 percent over 2003, from $14.7 million to $19 million. "The (entire) auction market actually appreciated at a greater rate than the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq, which gained 3 and 9 percent respectively," said Meltzer. Many wine collectors are turning to online wine auctions where, "You don't have to wait for the next big auction," said Meltzer. Rather than travel to the auction, fans can bid online on Internet auctions that are held more often, sometimes every week. Wines are sold in different lot sizes including cases, and individual and large format bottles, whereas in brick-and-mortar auctions lots are typically larger. Online wine auction companies accept credit card payments and provide many online features that make bidding easier. Some companies offer "AutoBid," an online function that allows the buyer to set a maximum bid, and if there are competing bidders, the site will bid automatically up to the maximum bid specified by the bidder. "If there are no competing bidders," explained Meltzer, "you'll pay the minimum bid." The online auction automatically notifies buyers if they're outbid. And every buyer can be completely anonymous. Auction houses and online wine auctions differ in significant ways. The auction house sale is held at the location of its choosing on a specific day and time. These houses usually sell in larger lots such as 12-bottle cases, and may or may not accept credit cards. The bidder has to be available either in person or through other communication lines during the auction. "Consignor's fees vary from 10 to 20 percent of the gavel price. Very large or valuable consignments may be further negotiated. Additional charges may be levied for insurance, shipping, handling and in the event the wine goes unsold," said Meltzer. One of the advantages of buying from an auction house is the reliable inspection of wine, verification of the wine's provenance, and ensuring the proper storage of the bottles before and during the sale. WineBid.com Most of its sales range from $20 to $2,000. Profitable since 2003, WineBid.com, according to its website, has grown into the largest online auction site, offering weekly auctions beginning every Sunday featuring "more than 4,000 lots" of "first growth Bordeaux, wine futures and hard-to-find historic vintages." In 2004 WineBid.com's annual sales were $16 million, and Zech expects its sales to be over $20 million this year. With 37 employees, it offers wines in three different auctions in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, and Australia to its 33,000 to 35,000 registered bidders. Zech, who has 25 years of management experience and was the founder of the start-up Supreme Corq, Inc., the manufacturer of synthetic corks for the wine industry, described the typical buyer as male and between 45 and 50 years old. But, he said, there has been a shift to younger buyers in their thirties and more women. WineCommune Though competitors may have standard wine ratings, WineCommune.com provides wine guru Robert Parker's ratings plus, with a subscription to Parker's newsletter the "Wine Advocate," descriptions of the wines being sold. That was Stajer's idea, who in 1999 co-founded WineCommune.com along with Shaun Bishop, co-owner and president. This company has a different business model than Winebid's, more like eBay, where transactions occur directly between sellers and buyers. "There are no fees to buy (or register) on WineCommune!" says their website. Fees to sell are low. Auctions begin every Friday. On a late September day when Stajer was interviewed, there were 15,269 lots open - or wine for sale. The biggest risk seems to be that the wines sold through WineCommune.com have not been appraised by impartial experts. Stajer said they "do a lot of checking on the sellers," who are primarily retailers who use the site as a storefront, and that their fraud rate is "almost none - one to two complaints a year." Stajer said that the numbers of registered bidders and annual sales were proprietary. He also said that they had been "profitable since 1999, never took VC (venture capital) money, have no debt and have eleven employees." Buying Wine Online Researching wines you like is a good way to get acquainted with prices before bidding. That way the buyer will not be paying more than in a retail store. Several sources provide pricing information: Wine-Searcher.com lists retail prices; WineZap.com provides retail prices with over 800,000 inventory items from 500 U.S. retailers (run by WineCommune.com); and a Wine Spectator subscription will provide twice yearly indexes and access to their database of 10,000 wine auction prices. Has the May Supreme Court ruling affected the shipping of wines purchased through online wine auction sales? (It directed states to eliminate the differences between the regulation of local and out-of-state vineyards.) "So long as it focuses on vineyards, there's not much of a problem. But it has a potentially disastrous effect if limits are placed on the number of cases that can be shipped (by a retailer or auction house) at a time," said Meltzer. So for the time being, it's business as usual. Buying wines online for investment can be fun and exciting, and it's clearly a phenomenon that's growing. But as Meltzer, who has about 1000 bottles in his own wine cellar, cautioned, "If you do not appreciate wine in a glass - if you don't love wine - you shouldn't do this." The Positive ClubBeauty is. There's no need to force it, or strive for it, take it, possess it or consume it. Beauty is here when you open yourself to it. Beauty is here when you see it, appreciate it, live and love and express it. In the grand experiences and in the small moments, beauty is. Beauty touches something within you that words can never adequately describe and the mind can never fully explain. Remember often to allow life's beauty to touch you, to fill you. And you will become more creative, effective, peaceful and purposeful. Beauty is, here and now and anytime you choose to live it. Though there is often much trouble and sorrow in life, there is always more beauty to be lived. Beauty is, and the more you live it the more abundant beauty becomes. Let life's beauty shine brightly through you. -- Ralph Marston
