Cellar Planning

We offer invaluable advice when creating your wine investment strategy and portfolio. Imbibros will assist you every step of the way from conception of your cellar, assessing suitability of storage conditions such as temperature & humidity control, through to the supply of relevant wines that will mature at different stages to suit your needs.

Client Tastings & Events

We can tutor and tailor-make a variety of wine events to entertain your friends or clients.

This includes wine dinners in conjunction with a top local caterer matching the freshest ingredients and local produce with an exciting array of wines.

We also arrange Growers' tastings which enable clients to meet a selection of some of the world's leading winemakers as they present their wines.

Please call us for further details.

En Primeur

The concept of En Primeur involves purchasing wines whilst they are still maturing in the vineyard’s cellar, prior to release. The wines are usually shipped 2-3 years after the vintage. We expect the En Primeur price to be less than the future price of the wine once shipped. More importantly, it can also be the only way to secure wines that are made in very limited quantities, or for which there is particularly high demand.

The price of the wine is quoted 'In Bond' (exclusive of Duty and VAT). Upon arrival in the UK, the wine can be stored in our bonded warehouse at a minimal cost per annum (currently £8.50 ex VAT per case), or transferred to your own bonded account, in which case Duty and VAT can be deferred. Duty and VAT only becomes payable on delivery of the wine to you.

Glass Loan

Free with any purchase of wine. Charges will be levied on breakages and glasses returned dirty.

Sale or Return

Available on quantity orders of 15cs (12bts) or more by prior arrangement.

We will take back up to a third of your original order as long as the labels and foils are completely intact and the bottles in perfect condition.

Selling your wine

We are constantly looking for new wines and are interested in purchasing any quality fine wines that have been well cellared. We are cash buyers; please contact us if you have fine wines to sell.

We can take care of all arrangements such as bond transfers and collections. We can arrange collection from cellars in the UK and Western Europe.

Storage

We can arrange your own personal storage account at our bonded warehouse, London City Bond. Alternatively Imbibros will store your wines for you in our account at minimal cost (currently £8.50 ex vat per case or part case per annum in advance).

Wines can be stored both 'duty paid' and 'under bond'.

Delivery of your wine from our bond to a designated address is charged at cost.

Weddings

We offer two services; advice and supply of suitable wines and champagne for the reception, and also the creation of a bespoke Wedding List designed around the requirements of the Bride and Groom.

Wine Racks and Home Cellaring

Wine racks can be supplied, tailor made to any size and shape. We can advise on all aspects of construction and fitting out of home cellars, including temperature and humidity control, walk-in cellars, wine cabinets and fitting spiral cellars.
