If fine wine is important to you, whether for investment or for enjoyment, the storage environment you use will be important to you. No matter how amazing the wine is or how great its potential for success, if it is not stored correctly it will never realize its full potential. Without proper storage conditions your wine runs the risk of many potential problems. People may think that a cool spot in the garage, or the back of the basement is an ideal spot for keeping that prized case, but in reality very few locations possess the features suitable for storing wines.

You can relax with Vancouver Wine Vault's complete wine storage and management service.

Climate Control

Vancouver Wine Vault is a perfectly controlled environment in which to store your wine. Our cellaring facility is climate controlled to 14 degrees with 60-70% humidity control - the ideal wine storage environment. Located in the foundations of its building, VWV is free of all natural light and vibration.

Security

As well as providing an ideal storage environment, your wine investment is protected by four levels of security with two separate alarm systems protecting the building and the cellar. Each are monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week by Chubb Security. Digital Surveillance monitors the interior of the vault at all times. Access to the vault is by supervised visits only; all visits require an appointment.

Inventory Management

When you place your wine in our care it is bar coded and placed into an inventory system within the vault. Continuous inventory audits by bottle and case ensure accurate management. We can arrange pick up from you or directly from your wine retailer or wholesaler, and we can arrange delivery anywhere you wish.

Wine Management Service

Our computer tracking system can maintain a full catalogue of your wine holdings including mixed dozens. We can track your preferred cellaring schedule and advise you when your wines are ready to drink or be sold. All of your wine collections are placed into an online inventory system by which you can view your VWV wine holdings from anywhere in the world. This system allows you to view your collection and add new fields such as tasting notes, maturity dates and value for each bottle. You can also view your bottles, as digital images are taken of each bottle and case.

Provenance Certification

Not only do VWV guarantee optimum storage conditions for your wine, but we also offer certification proving that your wine has been correctly stored - essential if you're planning to sell your wine in the future.
