Offer to Heritage Fine Wines Investors

If you're a HFW or WineOrb investor evaluating wine storage and sales options, please consider our special offer:

100% Free Transfer Including Your Picking & Delivery Fees!

If your wine is currently with the new owner of the HFW storage business, you'll receive a credit to your Cellarit account for your:

  • Handling-out fees
  • Delivery fees
Or, we'll collect and transport your WineOrb inventory or HFW inventory free of charge.

...And, we'll waive our handling-in fee (normally $.50/bottle). The credit you'll receive from Cellarit (or the value of the collection/transfer) is estimated at $.50 to $1.00 per bottle depending on the size and composition of your holdings. The total value of the offer is therefore $1.00 to $1.50 per bottle.

Service, Security & Great Value

Cellarit may be a recent discovery for you because it doesn't splash out on large print advertisements, etc. We prefer to put our dollars directly into the relentless pursuit of better services and genuine value instead of advertising. That, and our efficient technology, is why Cellarit's ongoing rates are often 20-30+% lower than other professional wine storage providers.

Unfortunately, the wine storage industry suffered some bad press in recent years due to the high-profile failures of 2 wine investment companies. How can you be assured that the wine in your Cellarit account is secure? Click here to see the steps we've taken to ensure your wine is safe and sound, both physically and legally, in your Cellarit account. 

Sales Channels & Other Benefits

The Cellarit Wine Market allows you to set your own price and quantity for sale to sell your wine in a controlled fashion to maximise returns.

Cellarit has introduced a Wine Market Specials section, providing Heritage Fine Wines & WineOrb investors a highlighted sales channel via Cellarit. The section includes tasting notes and a free period of storage to buyers as an additional incentive.

No Pre-payment Required

You don't need to pay for any services in advance. At Cellarit, after your account credit is used, you can pay monthly by an automatic credit card debit or bank transfer or cheque. You receive a monthly accounting of charges plus a statement of holdings. You can even direct a copy of your holdings to your accountant for safe-keeping.

New & Improved Software

Registered Cellarit customers, whether they store wine with us or not, have access to our software to catalogue their wine.

Cellarit is always looking at ways to enhance the usability and value of our software for our diverse range of customers.
 
The two new enhancements described below were developed in response to client feedback, so please contact us with any suggestions to enhance these new features or any thoughts you may have for further improvements.

Tasting Notes & Information

"My Cellar" lists your wine stored at Cellarit or catalogued elsewhere. Next to each wine is a set of icons, including "i" for information.

The "i" icon takes you to a page which gives you further information about your wine. You can now type in tasting notes or add any additional information about the wine in the new text box.

Just click "update" and the information will be permanently stored for that wine.

"Add a Wine" to our Database Tool

While our database is very comprehensive and includes wines from most major producing countries, our customers are always finding new wines or wineries that are not yet in the database.

We respond to requests to update our database almost immediately, but now you can use our new "Add a Wine" tool to add a new wine to our database yourself.

After you logon, go to "Catalog My Wine" or "Send Wine to Cellarit". If you can't find the wine you are looking for, click on "New Wine". You can use the pre-formatted lists to indicate the country, winery, variety, etc. or just type the information into the text boxes and click "Create Wine".

Cellarit assigns unique serial numbers to every wine in our database and reviews each new wine entry for accuracy before permanently adding it to our database.

We hope you'll find these new features useful.




Cellarit Website Tops the List

The August/September 2006 Australian edition of Vogue Entertaining & Travel features a comparative article about wine internet websites ...

Title: Net Gains
Subtitle: It takes a lot of bottle to drag a traditional industry into the 21st century, but, says Greg Duncan Powell, internet companies are changing how we deal in wine

Listing Cellarit first among the major wine websites, the article cites Cellarit as having "the most user-friendly of the wine websites, offering key services of buying, selling and cellaring at very competitive rates"

The article continues, "As canny managing director Scott Witt says, 'without a bricks-and-mortar shop front, all we have to offer our customers is service and value.'"

Also, "...The nifty website lists recent sale prices on a huge number of wines and can be used to set a sale price. Wine is available for sale 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can purchase single bottles and have them shipped to eastern capitals for next-day delivery."
