Frequently Asked Questions

MWS has three industrial air conditioners with six blowers to target a consistent temperature of 55 Fahrenheit.   Additionally, we have upgraded the insulation in the building to R45 and the building glass has a ceramic tint to reflect UV rays and heat. 

MWS has four industrial humidifiers and two industrial dehumidifiers in the facility.  We target a range of 55% to 65% humidity.  Heber City Utah’s average humidity is 25% (ranging from 10% to 40%) and our humidifiers ensure that we are at least 55%.  With the facility having an average temperature of 55 Fahrenheit, dehumidifiers are needed to offset the negative pressure zone in the building and ground water and keep humidity below 65%.  These levels are monitored 24/7 and any significant variations trigger an alarm to our offsite security company.

MWS has installed over 25 cameras, alarms on all entrances, glass break, and motion detectors throughout the building.  All of these are monitored 24/7 and any event is noted by our offsite security company.  Cameras have 6 months of recording and are backed up off-site.

The facility is also personally overseen by a full-time wine concierge, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm.

MWS was built for with this contingency in mind.  Within seconds of a power outage, our industrial gas-powered generator provides power.  Two of our three A/C units, two of our four humidifiers and our two dehumidifiers remained powered, ensuring conditions remain steady for wine storage.

While MWS core business is to store and catalog wine, we can provide other services for a handler’s fee.  Feel free to email us at info@mountainwinestorage.com with specifics about your situation.

We offer several different size lockers to accommodate all types of wine collections.  Sizes are based on how many standard wine 12-bottle-cases would fit inside.  The smallest is a 12 case locker.  You can also rent a 32, 48, 60, 54, 72, or 100 case locker.  We have lockers that can hold standard pallets, as well as customizable walk in closets which hold over 500 cases.  

Prices vary depending on if you choose a ground-level or upper option (which require ladders or our rolling staircase to access.)  

We do have cardboard wine boxes for $12 each, which include cardboard inserts.  

The default layout of each locker is simply a locked and enclosed space.  Most people stack their wine cases in rows inside the locker.  However, if you’re interested in storing loose bottles, we are happy to build custom racks as an add-on service.  

Many of our clients rent several lockers, even of different sizes, to fit their collection in the most efficient way.  We are happy to help you figure out which options suit you best.

The warehouse is open and staffed 10 am to 6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.  If you need to pick up your wine at a different day and time, just give us a call, and we can usually accommodate.
