Availability
If, for any reason, we are unable to supply a particular
item, we will notify you as soon as possible. If your order
is required before a specific date, we strongly recommend
that you contact us directly to check on availability and
ascertain a timeframe for delivery.
Wine, by it's very nature, is a finite product and whilst
we make every effort to ensure that the advertised vintage
is the one that we deliver, we cannot guarantee which vintage
will be shipped to you. (Where the vagaries of vintage might
be of greater influence on the wine, i.e. for fine wines,
we will notify you of any vintage change as soon as possible.)

Acceptance
There will be no contract
of any kind between you and us unless and until we actually
despatch the goods to you. Your order is an offer to buy
from us. Nothing that we do or say will amount to any acceptance
of that offer until we actually despatch the goods
to you. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply
the goods to you without giving any reason.
We cannot sell alcoholic products to anyone under
18. For this reason, we may refuse an order at our discretion
and orders may not be transferred from the customer to any
other person.

Payment
We accept VISA, Mastercard, Maestro, Electron,
Solo, cheques (allowing time to clear) and cash(!).
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR CARD WILL NOT BE DEBITED UNTIL ALL THE
GOODS ORDERED ARE IN STOCK, ALLOCATED AND READY FOR DESPATCH.
