Looking After Your Investment

If you wish, you can take delivery of your wine at home, subject to payment of duty and VAT. We would, however, recommend that we arrange for your wine to be stored in a UK Customs controlled bonded warehouse.

For the modest cost of approximately 0.7% pa of your investment, including insurance at replacement value, you are offered the following advantages:

• Your wines will be registered in your own name and personal account number at a UK bonded warehouse.
• Storage in bond ensures that your wine is stored in optimum conditions, allowing it to mature properly and provide you with the highest possible appreciation in value.
• If you keep or sell your wine in a bonded warehouse, neither you nor potential purchasers will have to pay VAT or duty. These charges only arise if the wine is cleared from the bonded warehouse.

Note: The storage charge is the only recurring cost of owning a portfolio of fine wines.
