Where is my wine stored?

Wine purchased through WineCap is stored in-bond at Drakelow Tunnels LCB (London City Bond), a modern and sustainable HMRC-compliant facility.

Bonded storage matters for two reasons.

First, it protects the physical condition of the wine – LCB maintains consistent temperature and humidity, which preserves both drinkability and resale value.

Second, storing wine in-bond has specific tax advantages: you don’t have to pay duty and VAT as long as the wine remains in the bonded warehouse.

If you ever want to take physical possession of your case, it can be released from bond and shipped to you – though this typically triggers duty and VAT based on the price you paid for it. See can I take physical delivery of my wine for that process.
