"You don’t need a cellar to own one ..."

‘The great thing about the Bin Club is that you do everything for me except pay for it and drink it!’

Buying fine wines early, or on release, and enjoying them at the optimum moment, is good both for your bank balance and for your palate. Imagine owning a bespoke collection of wines, selected to reflect your personal taste and to meet your drinking requirements, to share with your family and friends. The Lay & Wheeler Bin Club gives you all the pleasures of enjoying fine wine without having to pore over lists or construct a cellar. A monthly subscription is used to secure wines, which are then professionally stored on your behalf until they reach their peak of drinkability.

Subscription Options

The Bin Club gives you as much or as little involvement as you need or want. On joining you can specify favourite regions or styles as well as your desired balance of wines for current and future drinking. Many members then simply leave it to the Bin Club experts to buy wines on their behalf, though you may of course choose wines yourself. Additionally you may wish to acquire wines from the Lay & Wheeler lists, at any time, or from the regular, exclusive Bin Club offers. Fine wines frequently demand a certain amount of time in bottle. A steady evolution is critical and professional storage in ideal conditions is important to ensure its eventual enjoyment. Provenance and storage history is also of paramount importance for investment wines and provides confirmation to the secondary market that a wine has benefited from the appropriate care since it arrived from its respective Château, Domaine or winery. Lay & Wheeler’s unique relationship with Vinothéque, one of the UK’s premier, wine-dedicated bonded warehouses will thus assist in maximising any future return on wine investment.

Build a Fine Wine Cellar from as little as £100 per month

Your cellar of fine wines takes less time to establish than you might think, and can be built from a comparatively small investment, particularly when compared to the cost of excavating, managing and insuring a cellar at home. Monthly payment plans from as little as £100 coupled with advance credit of three times your subscription amount allow you to spread the cost of purchase and storage. Buying en primeur and storing under bond permits deferment of VAT and duty charges – a bonus if you wish to sell some of your stock at a later date. You will receive a yearly statement of your portfolio and the Lay & Wheeler experts will advise you on buying and, crucially, the right time to take delivery of your wine, so that you enjoy it at its best. There is no joining fee – all your money goes into the building of your collection and the costs relating to its storage and insurance.
