Charges

Rent (Includes Insurance)

Our storage charge is dependent on the physical amount of cases you hold with us. Please note the case size is not a factor when calculating your case amount.

The table below details the different rates applicable according to the amount of cases in your reserves. Your category will be determined by the actual number of cases we are holding for you on 1st April every year.

If you sign up to pay via direct debit you will benefit from a reduced rate. You can sign up here.

Exports

Commercial invoices prepared for your shipper are charged as per the admin fees listed above. 


We would advise that you organise exports directly, we can recommend suitable shipping companies.


It is our experience that the receiving party needs to be in direct communication with the shipping company to avoid delays, language difficulties and issues arising out of office hours.


The process for preparing wine for export and seeking appropriate insurance cover is a lengthy one. We charge a minimum of £45.00 ex VAT (£54.00 inc VAT) for this administrative process and service.
