Top tips to establish a great wine collection of your own
Once you get the bug, building a fine wine collection can be somewhat intoxicating.
A project not to be taken lightly, a well organised cellar or a wine collection that is
complete with unique or rare wine is one of life’s greatest pleasures. So how does
one go about establishing a noteworthy wine collection?
Firstly, it’s important to decide whether you’re looking at wine as an investment, in
which case it can pay to employ the services of a bonded warehouse to ensure
traceability and exception from duties and taxes. However, it is worth nothing that for
many, a warehouse takes much of the fun of collecting.
So, if your wine collection is for drinking or proudly showing to friends and family, it’s
time to consider a home cellar. From a simple passively cooled storage area, to
bespoke active controlled temperature and humidity regulated structures, the choice
of wine cellars is almost endless.
With storage sorted, it’s time to consider your wine. If you’re considering putting time
and money into building a great wine cellar, it is worth consulting an expert. From
ensuring a well-rounded collection, to confirming the wine you purchase is suitable,
offers quality and ultimately achieves value. At Bacchus Concierge, we are a firm
believer in having a balanced wine cellar. By balanced, we mean your collection
includes a selection of new and vintages, white, red and even sparkling wines, as
well as rare and everyday wines.
Using Alexander’s extensive knowledge and experience of wine, Bacchus Concierge
will undertake a thorough consultation where we will discuss your palette, your
region-specific interests, your budget, and the overall aim for your collection. From
here, we will create a framework of labels from some of the world’s most unique,
exceptional vineyards.
Built up from a monthly subscription, starting from just £100 per month, we will use
your contribution to buy wine, or we can pay it forward as a saving for a truly unique
wine or a special vintage release. Your wine can be automatically transferred to a
bonded warehouse or to your own home cellar, based on your preference.
If you’re looking for something exceptionally fine and rare our searcher service will
help you find the unfindable. Using our network of suppliers, winemakers and auction
houses, Bacchus Concierge will go above and beyond to find that truly special bottle
just for you.
So, whether you’re just starting out on your wine collecting journey, or an
experienced wine connoisseur, we are happy to help you on your journey, exploring
the possibilities for your own cellar. To find out more about our experience and
