News in brief

Insuring wine collections
Collectors are already insuring their valuable pieces of art and now it is time to add wine to the list of household items that should be covered. Currently, only five per cent of wine connoisseurs insure their collections, compared with the 75 per cent who insure their valuable pieces of art. By asking your clients if their wine collections are covered, it could protect them in the event of a loss and could bring in extra revenue for your business. Damage to wine collections can happen for many reasons, including theft, power outages, temperature control failures and breakages.
