Wine Storage

Cellarers stores all its wines in a secure underground mine in Octavian, Corsham. This facility is generally considered to offer the ideal storage conditions for fine wine. All wines stored with Cellarers are insured to their full current market value. 

If you intend to store wines for any length of time proper storage conditions are imperative. The most important factor to consider when storing a wine is a constant temperature, ideally between 10 - 15 degrees Celsius. Bottles should be stored on their sides to keep the cork in contact with the wine, preventing it from drying out. A dark space is best, as is an absence of vibration.

You only start paying storage once your wines arrive in the UK and are placed in your storage account. The length of time this take varies from campaign to campaign –Bordeaux En Primeurs are generally shipped two years after the initial release of the wines. Other regions can vary from several months to a year after their initial Primeur release.
