Our Commitment to Collectors

At WineKey, we understand that proper wine storage and handling are essential to preserving the quality and character of every bottle we offer. We also understand that if you wanted to take a risk on a bottle, you'd just head over to your favorite Auction site.

Careful Sourcing

We only buy from legitimate négociants, importers, or producers, period. We only work with folks who share our commitment to proper storage and handling at every step in the supply chain. As an example, when we direct-import, we only use refrigerated "Reefer" container ship logistics, even though this is much more expensive and harder to secure.

Temperature-Controlled Storage

All wines in our inventory are stored in climate-controlled facilities maintained at optimal temperatures (55-58°F) with consistent humidity levels. This ensures your wine arrives in the same pristine condition as it left the vineyard.

Thermal Packaging

We use specialized thermal packaging materials to protect your wine during transit. Our insulated shippers are designed to maintain stable temperatures even in extreme weather conditions, safeguarding your investment from heat damage or freezing. We also work with our carriers to ensure that your packages are dropped at the closest point to its final destination to ensure that common-carrier times are minimized.

Seasonal Shipping Considerations

During extreme weather periods, we may adjust shipping schedules or methods to ensure your wine arrives safely. We monitor weather conditions closely and will communicate any necessary changes to protect your order.
