Storage fees	At European Whisky Auctions, you can store your won bottles. Storage is free for a period of 10 weeks, which includes at least 2 auction runs. After the expiration of the free storage period, a storage fee will be charged for the upcoming year. The storage fee amounts to 3,7% of the hammer price + buyer fee (with a minimum of €5,00). The sum of the hammer price and buyer fee also constitutes the insured value of the bottle.
