MANAGING YOUR FINE WINE AND EN PRIMEUR SHIPMENTS

As with extreme heat in the summer, the season of sub-zero temperatures and biting winds brings similar challenges and it becomes necessary once again to at least consider protecting your cargo from thermal shocks.

Nowhere is this more important than with the movement of high-value products such as en primeurs, private cellars or any rare, irreplaceable pre-allocated stocks.

There are a number of steps to take to ensure that your wines are transported in the best possible condition, at optimum temperature, safely and securely.

Kukla can provide options to consider, which include:

  • Temperature controlled road trailers and smaller units from Europe
  • Units set to optimum temperature as instructed by our clients
  • Provide two drivers to forego the need for stops en route
  • Pre-alerts – advance notice given to the warehouse of receipt of booking date/time of high-value stocks
  • Pre-alerts – advance notice given to our in-house customs division to prioritise attention to high-value shipments to effect the swiftest possible clearance
  • The use of third-party partner temperature controlled warehouses in Europe and UK whilst awaiting collection or on-delivery       
  • Temperature controlled containers from New World regions

In the unlikely but unhappy event of damage or theft to such cargo, Kukla also provides a full insurance service. This would not only cover the cost value of your cargo but the sale price, essentially “profit protection” on those ‘19’s, ‘20’s and ’21 en primeurs, planned for shipping in 2023 and 2024.  

Kukla are ready to assist you in managing this vital area of your business. We understand the care and attention that is needed, the risks and the best possible way to ensure that the quality of great wines is maintained throughout the transport process.
