With so many Hong Kongers collection wine in Hong Kong, we at Winebuzz have been looking at the different options available in Hong Kong: starting with SC Storage. SC Storage is the biggest self storage provider in Hong Kong with over 6,000 mini storage rooms, in 22 different locations with delivery time to you in 12-24 hours. And now they turn their attention to storing wine.

With all the temperature and environment controlled technology in place, you can store anything from 5 cases to 50 cases of wine at their wine-specific location in Wong Chuk Hang. We recently had a chat with Mr. Kevin She, the Chief Executive Officer of SC Storage about the operation and his view at the future of wine in Hong Kong:

How did you get into the wine storage business?
I started the wine storage business because our main business Self Storage is not growing as fast as before. However, we’ve noticed many wine shops and distributors popping up everywhere near our storage areas, and after noticing that the tax was removed (in Hong Kong from wine), we believe that the wine storage will be a natural extension and next phase of growth for us.

Have you seen a growth in your business since the tax removal last year?
Yes, we currently only have 1 site with wine storage of 5,000 sq ft, and that place is 90% full. We are re-modeling our storage site in Tsuen Wan into wine storage next month. So yes the wine storage growth is almost 25% faster then our storage growth. We only started this business November last year, so I assume the tax removal is related.
