Why store with us?
Authentication by an expert team
Ensuring the provenance of our wine and spirits is of the utmost importance. This is why we became the first merchant in the UK to have our very own authentication expert, Philip Moulin. Everything we store passes through the hands of Philip and his team, who carefully check and authenticate each bottle.
Buy and sell with ease
All cases of wine stored our warehouse In Bond can be bought and sold with BBX, our fine wine exchange. BBX is the world’s largest collection of fine wine, with over £1 billion of customer-owned wines available to purchase by our collectors. Because your wine is already stored in our state-of-the-art warehouse, transfer between customer accounts is simple and secure. Please note that currently spirits cannot be sold with BBX.
Consign wines and spirits to auctions
With our auction service you can offer wines and spirits (Duty Paid and In Bond and by the bottle or by the case) to future auctions. Berry Bros. & Rudd reserves the right to choose which items go into auction but this service gives our collectors another exciting opportunity to evolve their cellars.
