Welcome to the Fine Wine Plan, a convenient, affordable way to create a cellar of fine wine for future enjoyment.
A wine cellar from as little as £100 a month
The Fine Wine Plan assists you in building a personally tailored fine wine collection but at your own financial pace. Subscribe to the Fine Wine Plan and leave everything else to us, to guarantee a growing collection of quality wines.
Regular payments allow you to spread payment of the annual en primeur releases of, for example, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône.
Why build a wine collection in this way?
While there is much pleasure to be had from drinking wines in their youth, many of the world’s greatest wine regions produce styles whose enjoyment is aided by the complexity and mellowing that comes with age.
By buying young wine to cellar, the whole wine world is open to you – and with our expert guidance, you are able to plan your future drinking with ease.

Why Lay & Wheeler?
Our experience
We have been operating cellar-building schemes for nearly 30 years. Our expertise in developing and caring for private wine collections has resulted in thousands of clients storing their wines at Vinothèque, a leading professional storage facility in central England.
Access to the world’s finest wines
We are in a privileged position of enjoying strong, long term relationships with key producers from around the world. Such relationships are priceless, giving us access, for example, to leading classed growth Châteaux and top Burgundy domaines.
Ability to purchase en primeur
Securing wines that are in high-demand often requires that they be bought en primeur (prior to bottling). Lay & Wheeler has many years experience in selling wine in this fashion, and we offer the new vintages of Bordeaux and Burgundy every year.
Secure storage in perfect conditions
Lay & Wheeler’s cellars in Vinothèque, a dedicated bonded fine wine warehouse in central England, provide assured cellar conditions for the long term storage and care of your wine. Wines are cared for under Lay & Wheeler’s Portfolio Service.
