Protection for your wine and spirits

Chubb’s expertise in loss prevention, underwriting, and claims allows us to respond to the evolving needs of our wine or spirits collector clients. Our specialists provide risk consulting on topics such as fire and security protection and environmental analysis, and can recommend resources for appraisals, cellar management, storage, and transportation. Our worldwide presence helps us better serve our clients and develop local contacts with key resources.

These services, at no additional charge, include:

• Infrared assessment: Use of infrared technology to detect potentially harmful environmental conditions that are unseen but can damage collections.
• Off-site wine storage assessment: Analysis of security controls, operations, and environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and lighting.

• Emergency planning consultation: Customized guidance to help prepare for and respond to natural and man-made disasters.
• Pre-renovation consultation: Recommendations for protecting a wine cellar during a renovation, including proper vibration controls, seismic bracing, and storage conditions.
