Hi,

Craig, Having been a member with both companies, I would say that in terms of storage facilities Wine-Ark is superb. I live overseas and had a managed cellar account with Wine-Ark. I have not visited Cellarit's facility. If you intend to sell a few bottles and to continue to purchase from overseas, ...

Thanks Ric,

That's interesting. Do you know of any other rare wines that have gone this way ie vines not being productive enough, so production stopped?

I'm sure that Jaime can elaborate more, so here's my take on things in Hong Kong. There are a few reasons why retail mid tier/premium wines sells are stagnant in HK. - 80pc wine duty - Private wine clubs which get their own import license and ship large quantities to cut costs by bypassing the retai...
