Delivery

Fine wine is best moved with care, and we treat every delivery accordingly. When you order, you choose how you would like your wine handled.

We offer free UK delivery or bonded transfer on orders over £1,000 (ex tax); below that a flat delivery charge applies.

In Bond

Your wine remains in professional bonded storage at Octavian, Corsham, with duty and VAT unpaid. Ideal for cellaring, resale or simply holding until you are ready. We can arrange transfer into your own bond account where applicable.

Duty Paid (UK)

We release your wine from bond, pay the UK excise duty and VAT, and deliver to your door for drinking. Duty is calculated per litre of pure alcohol at current HMRC rates, and shown clearly at checkout.

Overseas

We ship worldwide through trusted agents. As international carriage depends on destination and volume, we quote shipping separately once we have your order, and keep you updated throughout.

These are our recommended agents:

Timings

Delivery times vary with the option chosen, the wine's location, and prevailing weather conditions. We confirm timings with you on every order. If you need wine for a particular date, tell us and we will be candid and do our very best.
