Dear Cuvees community,
As the founder of Cuvees.com, my goal has always been to provide our clients with seamless access to the world’s finest wines and spirits. Today, I am thrilled to share a major milestone from our sister company, 13 Degrees Wine Cellar, that will fundamentally elevate how our community collects, values, and trades rare spirits in Asia.
We are officially announcing that 13 Degrees Wine Cellar has partnered with Whisky Hammer, one of the world's premier online whisky auction platforms based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Through this exclusive strategic collaboration, 13 Degrees will serve as Whisky Hammer’s official operational hub in Hong Kong. What does this mean for you, our valued Cuvees and 13 Degrees clients? It means unparalleled, locally supported access to global whisky auctions right from our state-of-the-art facility.
Bringing Speyside to Hong Kong: What This Partnership Means For Collectors
Founded in 2015 near Scotland's legendary Speyside whisky region, Whisky Hammer hosts massive monthly global auctions featuring highly collectible and exceptionally rare bottles.
As their trusted Hong Kong operational hub, 13 Degrees Wine Cellar will expand its premium storage and logistics services to support whisky enthusiasts with:
Local Bottle Consignments: Easily drop off your bottles locally in Hong Kong to be listed on Whisky Hammer's global platform.
Expert Whisky Valuations: Gain trusted, transparent pricing and market evaluations for your collection.
Professional Client Consultations: Tailored support for seasoned investors and budding collectors alike.
World-Class Climate-Controlled Storage: Guaranteeing your rare bottles are preserved under optimal, state-of-the-art temperature and humidity controls.
A Shared Commitment to Excellence
"We are delighted to partner with Whisky Hammer as they expand into Asia. Their reputation in the global whisky auction market aligns strongly with our commitment to providing world-class storage and client services. This collaboration brings added convenience and confidence to collectors across the region." > — Joseph Luk, Founder & Managing Director
Daniel Milne, Co-founder and CEO of Whisky Hammer, also shared his excitement about the expansion, noting that establishing a Hong Kong hub with 13 Degrees is a natural next step following their recent European expansion into the Netherlands. Furthermore, this coincides with the upcoming launch of Whisky Hammer's new iOS and Android mobile apps, making global whisky trading more accessible than ever.
Elevating the Fine Wine & Rare Spirit Ecosystem in Asia
Hong Kong has long been a global epicenter for fine wine and premium spirits investment. By linking Cuvees.com's curated sourcing, 13 Degrees’ secure, climate-controlled storage infrastructure, and Whisky Hammer’s global auction reach, we are creating an unmatched ecosystem for collectors in Asia.
Whether you are looking to buy an allocation of fine Bordeaux on Cuvees, store it safely at 13 Degrees, or consign a rare single malt via Whisky Hammer, we have you fully covered.
Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to reach out to our team at 13 Degrees or Cuvees to learn how you can get your collection valued or prepared for the next monthly global auction!
