Insureyourwine.com Re-launches, Specializes in Wine Insurance for Collectors

Insureyourwine.com re-launched this December with an updated look and feel and improved site functionality to make it easier than ever for collectors to insure their wine collections. Specializing in wine insure, Insureyourwine.com offers industry leading rates, a free online application form and several resource articles dedicated specifically to wine collection insurance.

Insureyourwine.com is run by the Cellar Advisors wine consulting group and all insurance policies are handled by the Bliss and Glennon insurance company. Together, this partnership is the ONLY stand-alone wine insurance offering for wine collectors in the U.S.

“In our consulting business it is not uncommon to conduct a cellar inventory where the value of the client’s wine exceeds the home it is stored in,” said Marc Lazar, President of Cellar Advisors. “This illustrates the most common point about wine collection insurance. Traditionally, wine, like other collectibles has been covered under a homeowner’s policy. However, unless your home is covered by Chubb, Fireman’s Fund or AIG (now known as Chartis), you are very likely to be underinsured in the cellar. As wine collectors get more sophisticated with managing their inventory and valuation data becomes easier to find, there is increasing rationale for moving wine collection insurance to a stand-alone policy.”

The following questions will help any collector determine if they have a need for wine insurance.

1. do you buy wine from different states or often have wine shipped to you
2. do you keep wine in more than one home or a storage locker?
3. Have you ever checked to see if your current policy covers breakage, heat/cold damage or wines that are in transit?
4. Do you currently pay storage facility, shipping or auction insurance as part of your invoices?
5. Is Chubb/Fireman’s Fund/AIG too expensive or unavailable in your area?
