Storage, Insurance, and Shipping

London City Bond (LCB) in England is the premier warehouse in the world for storing fine wines. The warehouse facility contains over £2 billion worth of fine wines. Wines can be stored “in-bond” meaning the tax has not been paid. This enables you to re-sell the wine at attractive prices. You can visit and inspect your wine by appointment.

Their state-of-the-art facilities offer unparalleled security measures, including 24/7 surveillance and advanced alarm systems.

Your fine wine collection is stored under optimal conditions. The warehouse is temperature-controlled, humidity-controlled, overseen by cameras, fire alarms, and security systems.

LCB also provides comprehensive insurance policies, protecting your investment against unforeseen risks such as theft, fire, or natural disasters. Fine Vintage customers gain exclusive access to LCB's services at preferential rates, ensuring both affordability and peace of mind. These rates will be explained by our Portfolio Advisors and in our Market Reports.

We can provide you with options for shipping your wine worldwide. There are specialized companies for shipping fine wines and we will connect you with the top three choices we recommend. These companies will provide quotations based on air freight or sea freight and the volume and destination.

When your wine arrives at London City Bond it is inspected by the Liv-Ex authenticator. The wine undergoes a rigorous examination by certified experts who are trained in fine wine authentication.

In addition, Fine Vintage offers additional authentication services should you need secondary verification by Charles Curtis MW, a certified appraiser by the Appraiser's Association of America.
