A true wine enthusiast understands the rewards of owning an expansive collection. The pride that goes in to nurturing a bottle, anticipating its peak age and then enjoying its flavour can be gratifying.
To protect your collection, you may consider purchasing our high net worth insurance, to properly insure your home and assets within it, this will include your property, expensive art, jewellery and of course your wine. It is wise to insure your high net worth home, but a wide collection of wine adds another incentive. Especially as, it's not just a few bottles! Your carefully selected Wine collection is your pride and joy. It’s stored and cared for in a way that only wine can be. We can advise you on keeping your wine collection correctly valued and up to date on your Insurance policy.
