Wine Storage during Hong Kong Wine and Dine Month

For the whole month of November Hong Kong will once again show off its credentials as a culinary and cultural hotspot as the Hong Kong Wine and Dine Month returns to centre stage.

Kicking off with the Wine and Dine Festival at Wes Kowloon Waterfront Promenade from the 1^st to the 4^th of November, the festival will see both Local and International food and wine being offered along with international music acts.

Along with festival events; major hotels, restaurants and popular food districts will all be running promotions throughout the month on both wine and food.

With all if this wine being bought, sold and drunk and with space in Hong Kong at a premium, trying to store bottles before sale or after purchase can take up precious room in homes and businesses. Dedicated wine storage spaces are the perfect solution to this problem, and can offer multiple benefits.

At Cube Self Storage we have the perfect climate controlled storage spaces to keep wine collections, large and small, whether for commercial retailers of individual collectors.

More than simply creating space in your premises, our state of the art storage facility continuously and precisely monitors temperature and humidity levels ensuring your wine is kept at optimal conditions. Meaning whether you are buying or selling wine during November you’ll have a place to store all of those extra bottles.

You can store for as little as a week and increase or decrease the storage space at any time providing we have suitable rooms available making Cube perfect for storing stock or growing personal collections.

Preparing Your Antique Furniture for Storage

At Cube Self Storage HK we can store just about anything. We recently told you about some of the things that you could store in our purpose-built storage facility. Amongst the items we mentioned was antique furniture and since our blog post, we have received a number of enquires about this service. We therefore thought that it would be good to tell you a little more about how to prepare your antique furniture pieces for storage with us. Here are a few of our top tips:

1. Cleaning – make sure your item is thoroughly clean before placing it in storage. Use the correct cleaning products for the furniture materials and the age and condition of your piece. Make sure any cleaning reside is removed from the piece and that the furniture is 100% dry before placing it in storage.
2. Protecting surfaces – although your pieces of furniture will be fine in storage without additional protection, we recommend covering them anyway to reduce dust getting to them or any damage in transit. For flat surfaces, use a lint-free fabric as this will allow air to circulate and the furniture to breathe whilst offering it some protection from light scratches and dust.
3. Protecting corners – we suggest using corner protectors on the corners of tables, sideboards, desks or dressers to ensure they don’t get damaged in transit. Due to the chemicals used to produce plastic corner protectors, we recommend using fabric or cardboard corners as they will offer better long-term protection for your items.
