Wine Storage
store wine & spirits at Octavian's underground facility in Corsham
Octavian Corsham is arguably the best fine wine storage available in the UK – converted from a former mine, it was first a munitions depot and has been storing fine wine for over 25 years.
The cellars are located 100 feet beneath the hills of Wiltshire, encased in solid Bath stone. This gives a naturally balanced environment ideal for the cellarage of fine wine.
Here, perfect temperature is a constant, and humidity is controlled at the optimum level. There is no natural light, vibration is non-existent and fresh air quality is maintained at all time.
This facility is only for the storage of wine purchased from Appellations – at the current time we will not be storing wine purchased from other merchants.
Why you should store your wines with us?
- Best wine storage facility in the UK led by a team of highly trained and trusted professionals
- Perfect storage conditions (humidity, temperature, air quality, light & vibration)
- 24-hour high security
- Each case of wine is labelled with a unique identifier, your name and your Appellations storage account code
- Insurance provided at full replacement value.
