In order to streamline and simplify the wine-buying process, we have implemented a two-step procedure. Firstly, upon purchasing the wine, it becomes your property. Following this, it is securely stored in your virtual wine cellar/storage at no additional cost for a period of 30 days. After this initial storage period, a nominal monthly fee will be applicable. For the final step, you will have the option to arrange delivery, where the duty and VAT charges can be settled. Once these payment obligations are fulfilled, the wine will be promptly dispatched and delivered to your specified address.
We understand that our pricing structure may appear complex initially, but we assure you that it becomes straightforward once you have experienced it. We invite you to consult our comprehensive pricing guide to gain a better understanding of how our pricing system works.
Once you have located the wine you wish you purchase, you place this into your basket and similar to many other online stores, you checkout and pay for the product.
Once purchased, the wine is now your property. It is however stored in a duty-free and temperature-controlled warehouse. It can be left here for long-term storage for which you will be charged a small fee per month. More on our storage service here. Delivery can then be arranged in step 2.
If you wish to make a delivery to your home, you can log into your account and select 'Deliveries' adding the cases in question. Our system will work out the duty and VAT/TAX to settle up automatically. You will then be directed to checkout to pay this fee and the delivery will be automatically processed to your chosen address.
You can dispatch part of the initial order, or combine many sales orders to be delivered together.
