ADVANTAGES
Access
Customers
have access 7 days a week from 6:00am to 12:00 midnight.
Temperature
Our facility is kept at a constant 55-57 degrees and is continuously
monitored to prevent drops or spikes in temperature.
Humidity
Proper humidity must be maintained to prevent the cork from drying,
which allows air to enter the bottle. Too much humidity can cause
mold growth in the cork and/or ruin your labels. Our facility
is kept at a relative 65-70% humidity.
Light
Ultraviolet light will age and destroy your wine, which is the
primary reason wine is traditionally bottled in colored glass.
Consequently it makes sense to store wine away from the potentially
damaging effects of such light sources. The enclosed construction
of our facility blocks all natural light.
Vibration
Vibration
caused by compressors can agitate wine sediment and adversely
affect flavor. Vibration also introduces energy into your wine
and causes it to age prematurely. This is why home wine refrigerators
are not a good place to store wines. Our facility is completely
vibration-free, using a split air system with all mechanical equipment
located outside the storage area.
Cost
Very affordable. Leasing a 20-case locker (240 bottles) with us costs less than
$400 a year. Operating a refrigerated unit in your home would
be more expensive and offer much less space.
Variety
With more space to store your wine, you have the flexibility to
incorporate a wider diversity in your collection. You are no longer
hindered by storage limitations in your home. And with more space
available, you can have cases from your favorite wineries and
stores shipped directly here to be held securely, until you are
able to transfer them to your private locker. |
