Cost of storage

Post by uncle tom »

The space in the cellar under my house is not overly plentiful, and the possibility of constructing a pupose built cellar at my Cambridge factory (where I have plentiful land) - keeps teasing me..

..however, my needs alone would not justify the cost of the project.

I'd be interested to know what people who use professional cellarage services are actually paying - bottom line - for their storage.

Any PM's will be treated in confidence.

I was paying £6 per case per year. Unbroken cases only from the supplier so not typical.

I pay around £5 per case per annum (pro rata for mid year ins and outs) at Seckford Wines. They only allow unbroken cases. A "case" is either 6 or 12 bottles and both are charged at the same price which could be a problem for your Lake of Morgan's :shock:

They are very efficient and provide a collection service at £30 per consignment.

Contact is John Ireland - email: johni@seckfordwines.co.uk

I have no interest in Seckfords other than as a happy customer
