Data + Context
The numbers explain
why the stories are possible.
Every metric below is drawn from our operational telemetry — not marketing projections. The scenarios are real shipments, condensed with client permission.
On-time delivery
Across 4-day average transit window, including Texas summer routes and Northeast winter corridors.
A pallet of Islay single-malt arrives for Dallas opening night.
Blackwood Hospitality onboarded 18 cases of Laphroaig 18-Year for their new Dallas concept in July. Ambient outdoor temps hit 104°F. Our reefer held 58°F throughout the 1,400-mile run. The bottles arrived with condensation-free labels and unbroken seals — exactly as they left the bonded warehouse in Peoria.
Breakage rate per 1,000 bottles
Industry average is 0.4%. Our pneumatic suspension, individual bottle netting, and zero-shock loading protocol account for the gap.
Six cases of DRC clear customs and reach Christie's New York intact.
A private consignor in Napa shipped a mixed lot of 2015 and 2018 Romanée-Conti ahead of Christie's September wine sale. Combined declared value: $148,000. Chain-of-custody documentation was transmitted to Christie's logistics coordinator in real-time. The lot arrived 11 minutes ahead of the receiving window. Every capsule unbroken.
Maximum recorded variance
Across all 11,247 completed shipments. Logged at 30-second intervals. Full telemetry available to client on request.
A 600-bottle cellar crosses the country without a single degree of drift.
James Whitmore, a San Francisco-based collector, relocated to Greenwich, CT. His cellar — 48 cases of Bordeaux grands crus, 12 cases of aged Burgundy, and 6 cases of allocated Pappy Van Winkle — traveled in a dedicated climate-locked unit over 5 days. Temperature log delivered to his new wine room on arrival. His insurance broker accepted our telemetry as primary evidence of condition.
Cellar vs. Standard Freight
The cold-chain gap
is not close.
Standard temperature-controlled freight is designed for produce and pharmaceuticals — not irreplaceable wine and allocated spirits. The difference shows up in every metric that matters.
All Cellar metrics are drawn from operational telemetry, Q1 2024 – Q4 2025.
