In brief
Wine storage: the essentials at a glance
True Wine stores high-quality wines under controlled conditions. Every delivered bottle is recorded and assigned to your digital inventory; suitable wines can later be sold directly from storage.
Which wines are suitable?
Storage is particularly suitable for high-quality, mature or long-term wines and for collections intended for a later sale.
How does storage begin?
For the initial enquiry, approximate details about the quantity, type, value and current location are sufficient. A complete inventory list is not yet required.
Who it is for
When external wine storage makes sense
Whenever value, ageing potential or saleability should be protected over the long term.
Not enough room at home
Private cellars or wine fridges often run out of space as collections grow. External storage creates room and keeps the collection organized and available.
Avoid temperature swings
Wine reacts sensitively to changes between warm and cold. Stable conditions protect corks, fill levels and ageing potential.
Collections & investment wines
For rare or tradable wines, a traceable storage history also matters. It builds trust when the wine is sold later.
Invest in wineSuitable storage conditions
Consistency is decisive
Long-term ageing depends above all on a stable temperature, suitable humidity and protection from light, vibration and strong odours. Consistency matters more than a briefly ideal reading.
Temperature
Consistently cool
Avoiding rapid fluctuations is more important than one single perfect number.
Humidity
Balanced
Keeps natural corks elastic. Too dry can shrink them, too humid can damage labels.
Light & rest
Dark, stable
Away from UV light, vibration and strong odours.
