Duty Paid & In Bond Storage

Duty Paid wines are stored in a dedicated section of our Battersea warehouse, ideal if you don't have enough room at home and need wines delivered next-day to central London addresses.

Duty paid storage is £9.00 (ex-VAT) per nine litre case, per year. The Elephant Storage facility maintains the ideal conditions for storing wine and has been our own storage facility of choice for over twenty years of trading.

Elephant Storage also offers In Bond storage housed within Octavian, Corsham. This is the gold standard in fine wine cellaring. Storage charges are £10.50 (ex-VAT) per nine litre case, per year.
