We operate a multi-building bonded warehouse in Carnforth at our head office. The facilities offer excellent conditions to store wine, whether it is for bulk wines to be kept under bond or fine wines which need to be cellared.
From receipt to availability, we process your goods efficiently to ensure stock is ready when you need it, including same-day processing.
We adapt to your processes, allowing you to use your own stock codes and offering flexible invoicing options to support your business needs.
Whether you need next-day delivery or international shipping, our flexible distribution network ensures your goods reach their destination efficiently and on time.
Since 1972, we have been a trusted name in the wine industry, providing secure bonded storage from our warehouses in Carnforth, Lancashire.
Our bonded facilities offer ideal conditions for the storage of wine in bulk. Purchasing wine under bond allows duty and VAT to be deferred until the goods are released from the bonded warehouse, helping businesses improve cash flow and reduce upfront costs.
For customers without access to a bonded warehouse, we offer a Duty Upfront facility. This enables you to benefit from under-bond pricing, with duty and the applicable VAT becoming payable only when the wine is despatched.
We specialise in fine wine storage for private individuals who may not have suitable facilities at home, or who wish to purchase wine duty suspended.
Whether you intend to cellar your wine for future enjoyment, sell it at a later date, or defer payment of duty, our facility is designed to meet your needs. With over 50 years of expertise in wine import and wholesale, our warehouse is recognised as the premier fine wine storage facility in the region.
We provide optimal, secure conditions for storing your wine – all under one roof.
The wines are kept in a high security, temperature-controlled environment. Experienced cellar staff take the utmost care of any handling that is necessary. All customers are treated confidentially with stock being independently accounted for and held in a client reserve account. Wines can be inspected by appointment during office hours.
The development can offer both duty paid or bonded storage. Stock transferred into the bond must have a current valuation certificate. The stock is kept separately and is clearly identified with both the name and a unique reference number issued to the customer on placing stock in the warehouse. Individual stock certificates are supplied annually.
Wines will only be removed from the customer reserves on the written instruction of the owner. Wines will be delivered free of charge locally and charged at cost nationally. Duty Suspended stock will have the duty and VAT charged at this stage and this must be paid prior to delivery.
Free advice and valuation of stock can be provided annually. We can also arrange to sell wines for customers directly to the market on a commission basis.
