In Episode 005 of Bordeaux Buzz, I’ll be talking to Roy Wilson of Wine Storage Solutions LTD in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, just outside of London. We’ll hope you’ll join us for this episode! But first, a few notes on Roy Wilson and his wine storage expertise.
Why Should One Consider Wine Storage?
Some wines - in particular, many wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Mosel - benefit from cellaring. Many of these wines are crafted with the intent for the consumer to drink 5, 20, or even 50 years from bottling!
Cellaring wine can be an economical solution if you like to purchase wines at time of release, which are often much less expensive than purchasing an already aged wine. However, you then takes on the task of cellaring the wine yourself.
For wine lovers, storing all these wines (and stories!) can become a spatial challenge as one’s collection grows, as cellaring is not without its challenges. Many a wine enthusiast has a sad tale about cellaring a wine in less than optimal storage conditions, only to open it years later and have the wine taste like vinegar.
