CWC's "storage-only" facilities have been specially designed to incorporate all the industry leading features that have made our CWC1 underground cellars world famous.

What makes CWC storage-only stand out above all competitors is the attention to detail with no expense spared.

CWC builds small concrete chambers (NOT A SINGLE WAREHOUSE), each with its own complex computerized climate control systems, (NOT A LARGE, BASIC SINGLE SYSTEM AIR-CONDITIONER), that delivers superb, balanced temperature and humidity results which comfortably surpass the performance of all competing wine storage facilities.

CWC 4 & our latest Flagship CWC 5 will provide ample space for all expected private and trade requests until at least the end of 2011.

CWC has transferred all storage-only and merchant wines to these new facilities, thus making way at our Shouson Hill Cellars (CWC1) to cater exclusively for our Full-Club Members.
