For The Love Of Port

Boise only has one business offering offsite storage with strict temp/humidity regulation. I'm likely going to rent a locker, but I'm curious whether their rough rate of $1/case/month is in line/cheap/expensive, etc. What do you guys think? The cost includes 7am-9pm coded access and as consistent cellar conditions as you could ask for (58 deg with no more than 1 deg variation without an alarm, its in a basement, 60% humidity with 5% variance, LED lighting that's motion activated, so no one can accidentally leave the lights on, etc.)

I think my local rates were comparable to many in this thread:

Too much!

Long term storage (available for only unsplit 6-packs and full cases or large fornat equivalents) is approx £9-11GBP per year per case (pro rata for 6-packs/jeros quevedo sampler sets (!) etc)

Easy access professional storage (5am to 11pm in central london) is more expensive - £40GBP per calendar month for a footlocker that supposedly stores 15 bordeaux cases (though I struggle to get more than 12 cases-worth in there)..though a good proportion of that cost is mandadory insurance which some are able to transfer to their home policy and therefore achieve good savings)

Yours sounds like a bargain by comparison!

oops, my bad! Thanks for the link.

Sounds like a pretty good price/case on it. Just remember that case is generally a standard old-style Bordeaux cardboard box and you'll never get 24 cases in a 24 case locker. based on experience in reality you lose about 10-20% of actual storage space due to odd sized/shaped bottles, cases, etc.
