This takes a certain period of time depending on the market, wines and proposed prices.

Your bottles are secured and fully insured in our climate controlled bonded warehouses located in Beaune and Bordeaux [France].

We create a sub-account for you in our in-bound cellars (duty free zone) located in: Beaune and Bordeaux. A monthly report of your inventory is sent to you.

Tax savings: No VAT nor Excise duties apply when buying or selling wines that are stored in our bounded warehouses: you will not be subject to any taxation unless your wines are extracted from the in-bond inventory and shipped to a destination. Furthermore, there is the benefit that VAT is payable on the initial sale price of the wine, not the current market value which is a big financial edge. At time of withdrawal, our wine advisor submits an all-inclusive quotation for shipping fees and taxes for client’s validation. Capital Gain Taxes are subject to the customer tax residency and should be filed (if required) by the customer himself (whenever applicable): WineCo Swiss SA through its APP “Vintage-Cellar” does not withhold any Capital Gain Tax. Authenticity and tracking of ownership: Wines that have been stored in bond are much easier to track, raising confidence on provenance, hence, reaching easier liquidation and great value to secondary market Secured storage: The bonded warehouses are equipped with ideal storage conditions, temperature and humidity are controlled to ensure wine storage and maturation are at their optimum.
