BONDED STORAGE

Where Your Collection Thrives, Grows, and Travels the World

Temperature precisely controlled. Humidity ideal. Zero vibration. Total darkness. Elite security.

Picture this: Your most treasured bottles — rare vintages, investment-grade wines, or spirits you've carefully sourced — resting in perfect, undisturbed serenity. Temperature precisely controlled, humidity ideal, zero vibration, total darkness, and elite security.

This isn't ordinary storage. It's a sanctuary that protects condition, provenance, and value while giving you total flexibility for the life you want to live with your collection.

Whether you're a passionate collector who dreams of opening something special one day, or someone who loves the thrill of the market, bonded storage with our partners lets your bottles live their best life — and adapt to yours.

TRUSTED GLOBAL PARTNERS

Crown Wine Cellars

Crown Wine Cellars, Hong Kong

Housed in historic WWII bunkers at Shouson Hill and a state-of-the-art facility in Tuen Mun, Crown Wine Cellars is legendary among serious collectors. Individual climate-controlled chambers maintain the perfect 12.5–13.5°C and 65–75% humidity.

With 24/7 security and impeccable standards, it's where many of the world's finest collections call home — safe, accessible, and ready for whatever comes next.

London City Bond

London City Bond (LCB), United Kingdom

With over 150 years of heritage, LCB is the gold standard for fine wine and spirits storage. Their dedicated facilities offer pristine, vibration-free environments trusted by thousands of private collectors across 70+ countries.

Professional, secure, and steeped in tradition — the ultimate home for bottles that matter.

SEAMLESS TRANSFERS

Seamless Ownership Changes — Without Disturbing a Single Bottle

Your collection can change hands while remaining perfectly in bond. Title transfers securely between collectors, investors, or buyers with simple documentation. The bottles stay exactly where they are — in their ideal conditions — preserving every detail of provenance and quality.

No movement. No risk. No taxes triggered.

This is how the world's top collectors and investors operate: fluidly, safely, and elegantly.

YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR TERMS

Bringing Them Out — Exactly When and How You Want

When the moment feels right, withdrawing your bottles from bond is straightforward and flexible:

01

For Personal Enjoyment

Pay the applicable duty and taxes, then have them delivered to your home, a special event, or anywhere you choose. Imagine opening that perfect bottle at the right time, in the right company — the ultimate reward.

02

To Sell at Auction or Privately

You can consign bottles for auction or direct sale directly from the bonded warehouse. Many major auction houses work seamlessly with Crown and LCB. Ownership transfers to the new buyer still in bond, so duties and taxes are only paid when the wine is withdrawn for consumption.

03

Other Options

Gift to family/friends, re-export, or move to duty-paid storage — the choice is always yours. Professional handling, high-resolution photography, and detailed condition reports are available through the warehouses to support sales, records, or insurance.
