The Warehouse

 In 1997 we built our own temperature controlled bonded warehouse adjacent to our offices. This put us in a unique position, being one of very few wine merchants in the UK to own and run their own bond.

Storage Conditions

All wine is kept in our temperature controlled warehouses in Suffolk providing the ideal environment for long-term wine storage.

Average temperature in the warehouse is 12 degrees C.  Humidity is between 60 & 70%.

Security

Our warehouse is an HM Customs & Excise approved warehouse and therefore governed by their strict code of practice.  To obtain this license we also have to be of sound financial backing.

All cases are clearly marked as the property of the owner with the customers' name and account number, as well as being identified individually on our computer system.  This will safeguard your wines in the event of Seckford going into liquidation.

As we own the bond we have absolute control of storage. Unlike many of our competitors, no third parties are involved. This is an important consideration for clients wishing to store wine with us.

No stock can be moved without written permission from the customer

State of the art 24 hour security.
