If you choose to receive the Octavian Vaults service, directly
from Cert Octavian, you can enjoy these benefits:
A dedicated care team
With Octavian Vaults, you can rest assured that your fine wine
will be in the hands of a team of experts who are as passionate
about it as you are and always happy to help. Our dedicated care
team will be there to answer all your queries, assist you in
managing your wine collection, provide you with updates and help
you in any way they can.
Comprehensive insurance
Octavian Vaults is supported by the substantial financial
strength of Cert Octavian, helping us to provide you with enhanced
insurance that not only carries your name and stock details but
also covers the full replacement value for any wine damaged or lost
during the day-to-day operation of our cellars. Even in the
extremely unlikely event of a major catastrophe, which results in
all stock being destroyed, our insurance policy will provide cover
for every single bottle to its latest declared value. We also
provide assistance with annual valuation of stock, which will
automatically be passed on to our insurers and updated on to the
policy. This is an invaluable element of the Octavian Vaults
service.
A convenient, all-inclusive charge
We have combined elements of our previous charging structure
into one charge, to make the use of the Octavian Vaults service as
easy and convenient as possible. This covers receiving and handling
your fine wine, rental, in-bond transfer, order administration
charge, picking of the case and a Certificate of Pristine Storage
for every case or bottle leaving Corsham Cellars.
Help to sell your wine
If you want to sell any of your wines, we will contact a number
of wine merchants who recognise the value of storing at Corsham
Cellars and with whom we have established long-term relationships,
inviting offers for your fine wine. We will then confirm with you
the highest offer we receive.
We do not charge a commission for this service. Our aim is to
help you realise the full potential of your wine investment.
Managing your collection online
Cert Octavian Online is a powerful
web-based portal, which allows customers to monitor every aspect of
their stock whilst in storage. This convenient secure system can be
accessed from anywhere in the world, and is linked directly to our
Warehousing Management System. Our online service offers many
functions - from viewing the details of your collection to
requesting a delivery. This makes it simple and convenient for you
to manage your fine wine collection and, whilst Cert Octavian Online allows you to
look at your stock holding, we also send you an annual listing.
Cert Octavian Online also has
another feature exclusively for Octavian Vaults clients - a bespoke
cellar-book facility. 'My Cellar' allows you to add and maintain
details for your entire fine wine collection, not just those stored
in our cellars. You can store specific information against each
wine, including tasting and producer notes, drinking guides,
valuations and more.
A visit to our cellars
Octavian Vaults clients are welcome to visit their wines at
Corsham Cellars, by prior arrangement. Our team of experts would be
delighted to give you a tour of our facility and answer any
questions you might have. Call us to schedule your visit, and one
of our dedicated team will be able to provide you with all the
information you need, from hotels to transportation.
The Certificate of Pristine Storage
Today's wine buyers and auctioneers know that properly cellared
wine commands a premium. Over time, buyers will not just ask for
fine wine, but tangible proof of properly stored fine wine.
Octavian Vaults' unique certificate officially authenticates that
your wine has been laid down in correct conditions whilst in our
care. There is nothing to stop your wine from reaching its full
potential if it has come to Corsham Cellars directly from its
château or from a respected wine merchant. The certificate is
protected from fraud by security features including a bespoke
hologram, a numismatic security design, watermarked paper and audit
numbering. A certificate is allocated to every case or bottle
leaving our cellars, and will be presented as proof of the care
that has been bestowed upon your wine.
