Why cellaring matters

Wine evolves over time, but how it’s stored makes a significant difference.

Poor storage can flatten flavour, damage labels, and compromise provenance - all of which can affect both enjoyment and long-term value.

Professional cellaring helps protect:

Flavour and balance
Bottle condition and labels
Provenance and resale confidence

When wines are stored properly, they’re ready when you decide to enjoy, share, or sell them.

Home storage vs professional storage

Many wines are stored at home, but household conditions can fluctuate.

Professional storage provides greater stability.

Household temperatures fluctuate
Light and vibration are hard to control at home
Long-term home storage risks accumulate quietly

Professional cellaring provides stability - and stability helps protect wine.

Frequently asked questions

What is wine cellaring and why should I use a professional service?

Wine cellaring is the process of storing wine in optimal conditions to allow it to age and develop complexity over time. Professional cellaring provides consistent temperature (12-15°C), humidity (60-70%), and protection from light and vibration without the significant upfront investment of building your own cellar. Our secure, climate-controlled facility offers the convenience of perfect storage conditions plus insurance coverage, making it ideal for collectors who want optimal ageing without the cost and maintenance of home cellaring infrastructure.

How much does wine cellaring cost at Trading Grapes?

Our cellaring service operates on a simple monthly subscription model charged per bottle. Pricing is just $2 per bottle per month, with insurance included at no extra cost. You're only charged while your wine remains in our facility - cancel anytime by requesting delivery.

What types of wines benefit most from professional cellaring?

Premium wines designed for ageing benefit most from professional cellaring, including fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, aged-worthy Chardonnay, vintage Champagne, and collectible wines. Generally, wines with good structure, tannins, and acidity age better. Investment-grade wines particularly benefit from professional storage to maintain provenance and value.

Is my wine insured while in your cellaring facility?

Yes! Insurance is included in our cellaring service at no additional cost. Your wine is covered for fire, flood & theft at current market value. Our comprehensive insurance policy gives you peace of mind that your investment is protected while in our care.

How do I access my cellared wine when I want to drink or sell it?

Simply contact us through your account dashboard to request delivery of specific bottles. We'll process your request promptly and ship your wine. Your cellaring subscription for those bottles will be cancelled before the next billing cycle, so you only pay for the time we stored them.

Where is your cellaring facility located and how secure is it?

Our wine storage facility is a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled warehouse with 24/7 security monitoring, restricted access, and comprehensive surveillance systems. Temperature and humidity are monitored hourly to ensure optimal ageing conditions. The facility is purpose-built for wine storage with backup systems to maintain perfect conditions.

Can I cellar wine I already own, or only wines purchased from Trading Grapes?

Currently, our cellaring service is available for wines purchased through Trading Grapes. When you buy wine from us, simply select the "cellar my wine" option at checkout. This ensures proper handling from purchase to storage and maintains the wine's provenance - important for valuable bottles.

If you'd like to cellar bottles you already own, please drop us a message and we'll be happy chat about how we can help!

What's the minimum and maximum cellaring period?

There's no minimum cellaring period - you can request delivery anytime after your wine arrives at our facility. There's also no maximum period, making our service perfect for long-term collectors. Whether you're cellaring for a few months or several decades, we're here to store your wine until you're ready.

Do you offer cellaring for businesses, restaurants, or investment funds?

Yes! We're expanding our services to support SMSFs (Self-Managed Super Funds), family offices, restaurants, and commercial wine collections. These services include bulk storage options & portfolio management. Contact our team to discuss your specific requirements and custom pricing.

What happens if I forget about wine I have cellared with you?

Your wine remains safely stored regardless of how long it's been cellared. We'll continue charging the monthly fee and send regular updates about your collection. If payment methods expire or accounts become inactive, we'll contact you to arrange updated payment details or wine retrieval. Your wine is never abandoned or disposed of.

What temperature and humidity conditions do you maintain?

Our facility maintains optimal cellaring conditions with temperature between 12-15°C and relative humidity of 60-70%. These conditions are monitored and recorded hourly with backup systems ensuring consistency. Bottles are stored horizontally in darkness, protected from vibration and temperature fluctuations that can damage wine.

How do I start cellaring wine with Trading Grapes?

Simply select "cellar my wine" when purchasing any eligible wine at checkout. Your wine will be delivered directly to our secure facility instead of your address, and monthly billing will begin on the 1st of the following month. You'll be able to track your cellared inventory through your account dashboard.
