History

[edit]

Wine Ark was created in 1998 in Sydney by Dean Taylor, a former architect.[1] Wine Ark was the first company worldwide to give its customers an access to their wine inventory online. Dean Taylor sold Wine Ark for $8.5 million in 2008.[2]

In 2008, $20 million was invested to integrate Wine Ark storages units in National Storage storage centers. Wine Ark integrated a new service that catalogued, delivered and sold bottles for its customers.[1]
