In France almost every country property will have it’s own wine cellar which is naturally just at the right temperature and humidity for keeping stored wine in tip top condition, allowing it to age gracefully. Sadly here in the UK our forefathers did not spend so much time worrying about wine (I think we were more of a beer drinking nation back then) and so we are sadly lacking in easily available wine storage at home.

As more and more people buy wine to lay down for either investment or to enjoy themselves in later years then so the need for sourcing the correct storage increases. What you really need in this situation is specialist wine storage. It just so happens that many self storage companies have cottoned on to this niche market and now in many of their stores can provide rooms that are kept at just the correct conditions for the safe storage of wine.

Of the big providers Big Yellow Self Storage offer this facility as do a number of specialist wine only stores, there of many of these storage companies in London, but equally a few provincial towns have such facilities.

Wherever you find your perfect wine storage location it will be worth it when you eventually realise your aged bottle, the pleasure ultimately is in the drinking!
