Vine International uses LCB Vinotheque for long-term storage. Vinotheque is housed in a 19th century grade II listed industrial building in Burton-upon-Trent. Originally constructed as a grain store, its metre-thick, red brick walls ensure that the temperature and humidity within Vinotheque are close to ideal. The warehouse is also physically secure, protected by heavy oak doors, shuttered windows, CCTV, a state of the art intruder alarm and 24/7 security patrols.
