Customer Service

ORDERS & PAYMENT

In order to purchase alcohol you must be over 18 years old and legally entitled to do so.

Any orders of less than 6 bottles will incur a 10% surcharge. When you order 6 bottles of wine or more from our online store the 10% surcharge on the first 6 bottles will be removed. There are no limits on quantities you can order and we can deliver nationwide. The placing of an order anywhere on our website does not constitute a contract, which is made only when we accept your order and process payment.

When you order through our website there is a minimum order value of $50. Once your order has been processed, we’ll send you a confirmation email and the preparation of your order for dispatch will begin. Alternatively you can come and collect your wine from our store in Parnell.

All goods are subject to availability. We cannot guarantee the availability of specific vintages.

Payment should be made at the time of ordering by Visa, Mastercard or Amex through our secure server. It’s easy and you’ll have those lovely bottles in your hand in no time at all.
