As a NEXUS member and customer of The Great Wine Co., you should find managing your wine collection effortless and reassuring at all times. Below you will find a handful of NEXUS's rates and services. This list is not exhaustive and if you require any independent advice or logistic service please contact NEXUS for details. Rates quoted exclude VAT.
New Account Set-up
The usual £10 joining fee is waived for customers of The Great Wine Co..
New Purchases & En Primeur
As soon as you buy wine for storage please inform us at arrivals@nexuswine.com. We will update your collection with the wine and its expected date of arrival.
Your haulier will not be able to deliver your wine unless we have received an invoice from you in advance.
Consolidation of Stock Holdings
We work closely with all the major independent merchants to ensure that our clients can manage their collection as safely and as efficiently as possible. If you wish to benefit from the quantity and time savings available from consolidating holdings from other locations, please let us know.
Receiving, Handling and Labelling
On physical arrival at a NEXUS affiliated warehouse, each case will be checked to ensure it is in its original packaging and in expected condition. Wines not in original cases may be opened for further inspection. Cases that arrive mixed will be broken down into their constituent parts and repacked. Provided we have been informed in advance of its arrival, we will take up any shortfalls or errors on your behalf at this point. You will receive confirmation of safe receipt by e-mail.
Storage
Great Wine Co. customers benefit from the following preferential storage rates at Nexus LCB Dinton Woods for 2024:
- £0.62 per month for cases up to 4.5 litres (up to 6 standard 75cl bottles, or equivalent in other formats)
- £1.13 per month for cases up to 9 litres (7-12 standard 75cl bottles, or equivalent in other formats)
- £2.25 per month for large cases, more than 9 litres (e.g. a 12 litre Balthazar or 15 litre Nebuchadnezzar)
- £0.28 per month for single pack 1x75cl bottle or 1x150cl magnum
The Great Wine Co. will cover receiving costs of new cases purchased from GWC. If you wish to have wine bought elsewhere added to your collection, you will be invoiced a receiving charge of £4.60 per case.
Insurance & Management Fee
We levy a monthly management fee of 0.01% of the market value of your entire collection (including due in). This covers insurance to full replacement value, HMRC requirements and liaison with your suppliers to ensure that your wines arrive in a timely manner as per your expectations.
Secure, Accurate Cellarage
NEXUS uses only the finest long-term cellarage facilities. Full stock reconciliations are conducted monthly to ensure that any ‘human’ errors are picked up immediately. Because NEXUS is a storage-only operation we have secured low traffic areas of these cellars minimising vibration and the possibility of loss and breakage.
Every case is uniquely identified at the warehouse and it is impossible for collectors stocks to be confused with the assets of any trading outlet. If you would like to view your stock, cellar visits can be organised with prior arrangement.
Web Access
You will be issued with a password to access your collection via our website. The website has extensive functionality to help you monitor your stocks – you can view a sample collection at www.nexuswine.com using the following log-in details: Username: sample@nexuswine.com Password: 5$mPl3
Removing Stock
Arrangements should be made directly with us at departures@nexuswine.com. Please note, verbal instruction can only be accepted for authorised, pre-advised delivery addresses. You will receive a rental credit for full, unused months. NEXUS can advise on the most cost-efficient way of moving your stock around. Should the value of an invoice exceed the remaining value of the collection, we will require payment prior to any despatch. Where multiple cases of a product are held, by default NEXUS will select the highest value case for IN BOND deliveries and the lowest value case for DUTY PAID deliveries.
