All wine that you store with Farr Vintners is automatically insured at full replacement value.
We employ an excellent team of experienced staff who control all operations from receiving and checking to preparing wines for export. We pioneered the use of photography in checking the condition of wines received and all wines over a certain age or value are carefully photographed and these photos stored on our system.
We offer three months' free storage on all purchases from the date of invoicing. En primeur wines do not incur storage charges until June of the year that they are shipped back to our warehouse. For example, customers who purchase Bordeaux 2020 en primeur will not incur storage charges until June 2023.
With effect from 1st June 2024 our storage charges are £13.00 per 9 litre case (12 bottles, 6 magnums, etc.) or £6.50 per 4.5 litre case (6 bottles, 3 magnums, etc.) per year, excluding VAT. This includes insurance at full replacement value and will apply to wines that remain uncollected or undelivered 3 months after the date of the sale. Customers who arrange storage through us can rest assured that their wines are being professionally stored under ideal conditions.
