4. STORAGE

 

-BottleXO uses wine fridges and cares deeply about using optimum storage methods. Last winter it was so cold that their operations Manager stayed up all night with heaters to ensure the temperature was alright for the wines.

-DrinKuaidi ensures that drinks are stocked and delivered in the best conditions to provide a high quality service (Red wine in 16 degree cellar, others in 10 degrees fridges). So you get your drink already chilled.

-Laowines has a huge warehouse that handles millions of bottles a year. It is completely temperature controlled and constantly monitored, with different areas and conditions for different wines.  

-Auchan Wines lists product quality as one of their top priorities. To preserve carefully, all the bottles are well controlled under proper temperature and humidity.

-Shanghai9 has a downtown warehouse located in the North Bund area.
