Our Cellar Management Services

 We offer a bespoke and sophisticated service where no stone is left unturned. We work hands on with our clients throughout the project making sure we are constantly exceeding your expectations. We can offer full appraisals of your wines with financial valuations, condition and drinkability checks or even a complete re racking service.

We also are experts in sourcing hard to find and collectable bottles from all over the world. We are not influenced by our own stocks and instead will make sure we source you the best wines with the best provenance at the lowest prices. All our work is completely tailored to our clients needs, if you would like to know more about this service or if you would like to book a consultation with one of our experts please contact us today.

We all love the idea of having a dedicated cellar, a distinct shrine, er, room to store our treasured bottles. So, what does it really take to create.... Well to begin with only roughly between 85 to 95% of all wines are actually meant to be consumed as soon as they hit the shelves. As one winery put it: “…remember that a wine cellar is not a wine hospital. If you’ve got an average bottle of wine to start with, it will not improve with age. It’ll just be an older average bottle of wine.” The top 5% to 10% of wines that will improve with age can be well worth the wait though: their tannins will soften and they will develop complex characteristics. Only these types of wines should be finding themselves on your Wine Cellar’s shelves.

These top wines can be quite expensive while at the same time a higher price doesn’t guarantee that a wine is actually age-worthy or even that it is, in fact, a superior wine. If you are planning on creating a wine cellar but aren’t sure where to start, please send an email to info@vinobayassets.com to inquire about how to start building your cellar.

“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.”

 Ernest Hemingway

“I have lived temperately, I double the doctor’s recommendation
of a glass and a half of wine a day and even treble it with a friend.”

“Wine is sure proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
