Cellar Plan

What is Cellar Plan and why should I start one?

A cellar, built carefully over many years, can be a truly wonderful thing to enjoy. Your collection should be a reflection of you and your tastes and the best way to build one is with Cellar Plan. Essentially, if you invest a bit of time and money now, you'll end up drinking better wines and spirits in the future. Cellar Plan is all about buying wine while it's young, for drinking at its peak. You can see some example cellars here .

What is the minimum amount a Cellar Plan member can pay each month?

The minimum amount is £250 per month. If you spend under £500 (i.e. £499 per month), you will have access to our expert Cellar Plan Team . If you spend £500 per month or over, you will get a dedicated Account Manager.

Can I join Cellar Plan and not pay monthly?

No, Cellar Plan requires a monthly payment, either by Direct Debit or, if you do not have a UK Bank Account, by giving us your debit or credit card and permission for us to charge it. However, if you would like to discuss having a dedicated Account Manager, there are other ways you can pay. Get in touch here .

What's the difference between the Cellar Plan Team and the Account Managers?

Cellar Plan members who spend under £500 per month will get access to the Cellar Plan Team. The team is made up of five very experienced Account Managers. They are on hand to help you build your cellar and guide you so you become confident in understanding your tastes and managing your collection. You can read more about them here .

Having a dedicated Account Manager allows you to create a bespoke strategy for your cellar, and as your relationship builds with them, they will be able to guide you through the wonderful world of collecting. You will have first access to parcels of wine and spirits, and can meet with your Account Manager to ensure you’re happy with the direction of your cellar.

The benefits of Cellar Plan remain the same whether you are looked after by an Account Manager or the Cellar Plan Team.
