# Fine Wine (Paid Reserves)
Paid Reserves workflows for fine wine, including setup, selling, withdrawals, transfers, and bottling.
{% hint style="info" %}
Bevica **Fine Wine**, **Broking** and **Cellarage** are separate extensions. Please contact your system administrator if you would like further information.
{% endhint %}
Bevica’s Paid Reserve feature makes it easy to sell fine wine to customers while still looking after the stock on their behalf. Whether the wine is held physically or En Primeur, each parcel placed into Paid Reserve receives a unique Reserve ID that stays with it throughout its journey. You can also capture helpful details like provenance, rotation numbers, source information and images.
Clear on‑screen enquiries let you quickly see all reserves linked to a customer or item, with a full movement history and handy links back to the original invoice, costs and creation date—giving you confidence that everything is transparent and easy to manage.
