Our storage standards · C&C Warehouse

Held to cellar standards.
Measured beyond them.

The standard for fine wine is 12–16°C and 50–80% humidity. We hold both in a building where it is 36°C outside the room — read at five points rather than one, logged continuously rather than checked, and reconciled against the temperature of the wine inside the bottle. Nine stops through the warehouse, and the numbers behind each of them.

Bonded, temperature-controlled storage for fine wine

Craft & Culture operates its own bonded, temperature-controlled cold room in the UAE, built for fine wine rather than adapted from general warehousing. Wine is held at 12–16°C with humidity between 50 and 75 percent, duty suspended, and every case recorded against its owner.

We hold wine for private collectors, for international merchants placing stock in the region, and for distributors and trade buyers. Collections already held in UK bond or with European merchants can be consolidated and brought here.
