🏪Storage Policy
How do we treat the investments?
We strictly follow the best guidelines when it comes to storage & insurance for fine wine & spirits.
Firstly, we prefer to store the wines & spirts at the producer or distributor/negociant premises if not within close proximity.
When we take investments into our own storage, here are our industry standard guidelines on how we store:
Temperature Control: Maintain a consistent temperature between 55-59°F (13-15°C) for red wines and slightly cooler for whites. Fluctuations in temperature can negatively impact wine quality.
Humidity: Keep humidity levels around 70% to prevent corks from drying out and wine from oxidizing. Specialized wine storage facilities often have humidity control systems.
Darkness: Store wine in a dark environment to prevent UV light from affecting the wine. UV rays can lead to "lightstruck" or "skunky" flavors.
Laying Bottles Horizontally: Store wine bottles on their sides to keep the cork moist and maintain a proper seal, preventing air from entering the bottle.
Stable Environment: Avoid vibrations and disturbances, as they can disrupt the aging process and negatively impact wine quality.
Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation to minimize any off-odors that can affect the wine.
Blockchain Inventory Management: an inventory management system to track wine & spirits movements, including when bottles were acquired and when they should be consumed or sold.
Security: Invest in security measures such as surveillance cameras, alarm systems, and access control to protect your valuable wine inventory from theft.
Backup Power: Install backup power sources, like generators or battery backups, to prevent temperature fluctuations during power outages.
