Storing wine with Berry Bros. & Rudd
Fine wine is a precious thing – it will only retain its value and mature gracefully if it is kept in the most optimum conditions. Our secure bonded warehouses are the perfect environment in which to keep your wine until you are ready to enjoy it or sell it on. They’re temperature-regulated, humidity-controlled and, what’s more, all wines stored with us are insured at replacement value for your peace of mind.
STATE OF THE ART FACILITIES
WHY STORE WINE WITH US?
Authentication by an expert team
As a fine wine specialist, ensuring the provenance of our wine is of the utmost importance. This is why we became the first wine merchant in the UK to have our very own authentication expert, Philip Moulin. Every case we store passes through the hands of Philip and his team, who carefully check and authenticate each bottle.
Buy and sell with ease
All cases stored in our warehouses can be bought and sold with BBX, our fine wine exchange. BBX is the world’s largest collection of fine wine, with £1 billion of customer-owned wines available to our collectors. Because your wine is already stored in our state-of-the-art warehouses, transfer between collections is simple and secure.
Consolidate your wine collection
If you have wine stored In Bond elsewhere and would like to transfer it to our warehouses, the transfer process is simple and secure. Once your wine has the stamp of provenance approval from our authentication team, you’ll be able to view them in your online account.
Free delivery of your wine
As your wine’s perfect drinking window draws near, you may want to withdraw it from storage to enjoy. Enjoyment is a key part of a collector’s journey, so we’ve made delivery to any UK mainland address free of charge when you withdraw a case of wine from our bonded storage. If you have wine stored with us you can view your cellar here.
