Beyond the Bottle – The role of storage in fine wine integrity

Description

Join our Major Supporter Octavian for a panel discussion to explore the critical – but often overlooked – challenges in the secondary fine wine market and how wine storage is a crucial part of the fine-wine value chain.  The panel will discuss:

• Provenance & Authenticity– Safeguarding wine’s history and value
• Risk & Insurance– Protecting investments in a shifting market
• Financial & Commercial Viability– Ensuring a sustainable trade
• Storage & the Value Chain– A crucial link in fine wine’s lifecycle

Octavian is the market leader in professional fine wine storage and this event will highlight storage as a cornerstone of value preservation in fine wine.
A must-attend event for industry professionals and students.
