Storing your Wine
|
A wine, imperfectly stored, is at risk of being out of condition when the cork is eventually pulled and is certainly a less attractive resale proposition. Whether buying for investment or for future drinking it is equally important that your wine is stored in exemplary conditions. |
WHY STORE YOUR WINE |
|
|
• Building a mature cellar: whether for investment or personal enjoyment this can be intensely rewarding. However few of us have suitable space to accommodate a growing cellar of wine. By using a professional storage facility there is no limit to the number of cases you can buy.
• Perfect conditions: for optimum maturation wine should be stored in the dark at a steady temperature of around 13°C with reasonably high humidity levels.
• Access to the finest wines: some of the most sought after wines are rarely found in the secondary market, so buying on release and laying them down is the only opportunity to acquire these wines. • Best price: buying wines on release (whether in bottle or still in barrel) should be the most cost effective way of laying down a cellar.
• Spread the cost: if wines are purchased In Bond, payment of Duty and VAT is not required until delivery is taken.
• Investment: The Fine Wine market has grown dramatically in the past decade. Proven provenance and an exemplary storage history are crucial to obtaining the optimum price for a wine. |
