Why do you need wine insurance?

Wine is fragile and susceptible to heat and temperature changes. What if the air conditioning fails, and there is a mechanical breakdown of the wine fridge? Breakage and spoilage can be covered under a bespoke wine insurance policy. There is also cover available for damage of labels caused by a flood.

Is wine insurance expensive?

No, it’s much cheaper than you would think to insure a bottle of wine. For a wine collection worth £50,000, a premium of £250.00 is to be expected.

How should I store my wine collection?

You should avoid storing your wine anywhere with strong temperature variations, direct light or heating. Although a specialist cellar is ideal, you don’t need to have one and can store the bottles in a cupboard under the stairs or in a spare room. The main thing is to keep the temperature constant and you should look to install a rack on which to stack your bottles.
