Provenance &
protection.
With fine wine, provenance is everything. Here’s how yours is established beyond question, traced, and insured - start to finish.
Provenance comes from the bond.
Storing wine In Bond, in an HMRC-approved warehouse, is the only way provenance can be established beyond question - essential for nearly every serious investor, and the reason merchants pay a premium for In-Bond stock.
It also makes any future sale far easier: most merchants and brokers will only list In Bond prices.
The only way provenance is proven - and why merchants pay a premium.
