Located at Fishery Port Road, the Singapore Wine Vault (SWV) stands as Southeast Asia’s largest wine storage facility, boasting an impressive capacity of 10 million bottles across 70,000 sqm. Since its inception in 2014, occupancy has already exceeded 70%, validating the model's strong appeal to both commercial enterprises and private collectors.
The facility offers a precision-controlled environment—maintained at 12°C for fine wines and 20-24°C for commercial stock—complete with humidity control, air filtration, and total UV protection. This technical mastery ensures optimal preservation despite Singapore's challenging tropical climate.
Beyond mere storage, SWV provides a fully integrated supply chain solution : international transport, customs clearance, bonded warehousing, insurance, and 24-hour local delivery. It even facilitates auction preparations in partnership with majors like Sotheby’s and Acker. With ISO and HACCP certifications, alongside its status as a Type III Licensed Warehouse, SWV guarantees top-tier traceability and compliance.
Backed by the Hong Kong logistics giant CWT International, the site leverages global expertise and financial stability. It attracts a diverse clientele, ranging from distributors like 1855 The Bottle Shop to private clubs such as 67 Pall Mall Singapore. For private individuals, a flexible per-bottle billing model offers a distinct cost-efficiency advantage over fixed-space rentals.
Through a dedicated mobile app, clients can track inventory in real-time, estimate portfolio value, or schedule deliveries. For CEO Leaw Tiew San, the ambition is unequivocal: to establish the Singapore Wine Vault as the global benchmark for wine storage.
