1. Conditions
If you would like to buy any of our drinks or other products or goods (Goods) on this Website, please select your items and go to our online checkout. Where you can review your order, payment and delivery details. You agree (i) to be bound by the terms and conditions set out below (Conditions); (ii) to pay the delivered price for the Goods so ordered, when you click PLACE ORDER.  If you are unable to agree to them, we are afraid that you will not be able to use our ordering service and you should not proceed with your order.
These Conditions override and exclude any terms or conditions in or referred to in any negotiations or course of dealing between the Company and you (also referred to as the Customer) or set out in the Customer's standard terms and conditions. If there is any conflict between the other provisions of this Website and these Conditions; or the provisions of your order and these Conditions then, unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing, these Conditions will prevail. Together with any such terms accepted by the Company in writing in connection with your order, these Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Customer in respect of the Goods ordered. No variation to these Conditions is permitted unless expressly authorised in writing by a director of the Company.

2.Prices
Prices for Goods are quoted on our Website in £ sterling, exclusive of VAT. Goods may be collected at our stores or at our warehouse by using the Click and Collect service for collection during designated hours.  Prices for delivery (see Condition 5, below) are quoted where requested and added to the final price. The final price, inclusive of VAT and delivery, will be calculated and shown in checkout before you click PLACE ORDER. The Company has used all reasonable endeavours to ensure that prices are accurately set out in the Website but reserves the right to change its prices without notice at any time. Prices charged will be those prevailing when your order is accepted. Where your order is supplied in instalments (Scheduled Delivery) the price payable will be that applicable at the time of despatch of the first part of your order but, where Scheduled Delivery may continue for a period of 90 days or more, the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer further amounts if the price of the Goods increase before the end of that period.  Consumers’ rights to cancel (see Condition 8) are unaffected by any such change in price.

3. Payment
Payment is due in cleared funds prior to despatch of Goods. Payment must be by credit or debit cards accepted by us.  We can only accept cards registered to a UK address with 3D secure, to aid security of payment systems and to prevent fraud.

4. Orders
All orders are accepted by us subject to and in accordance with these Conditions. We may vary these Conditions at any time. We reserve the right to reject any order.  An order will not bind us unless we accept it by sending you a confirmation of order.  A confirmation of order does not imply that the Goods are in stock for immediate despatch. The Company reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person at its absolute discretion.  Minimum order is 1 item online. An item is defined as 1 x minimum quantity that can be ordered of a specific item. (Please note that in some instances Goods are only available in cases and this one case is the equivalent of 1 item only.)  "Single" prices are for orders of less than 12 items in your trolley.  "Mix (12+)" prices are applied for orders of 12 or more items. In this instance, the prices will change automatically for your entire order. For some items where there are more than 1 bottle in a single item we offer the discounted price regardless of number of items in your trolley and these will be identifiable as prices will appear the same for both on these items.  Orders may be accepted by the Company by despatching the Goods, but despatch will not be acceptance where the price has been incorrectly quoted or referenced by the Customer in its order.

Please note that any purchases made on our website using cashback sites including TopCashback, Quidco and any other similar sites with limited/Exclusive product releases and items with purchase or bottle limits applied are not eligible for cashback(s)/reward(s)/commission(s). Please make sure you view the product page and see if it states fine/rare/limited bottle(s) per customer.

5. Delivery

Delivery to UK Mainland only. Please be advised that we are not able to deliver to Northern Ireland and Channel Islands at the moment.

The Company will use reasonable endeavours to despatch Goods ordered before 12 noon, Monday to Friday on the day of order and any Goods ordered after that time the next working day, provided that the Goods are in stock. Where Goods ordered are out of stock/non-stock items, it may not be possible for the Company to arrange same or next day working despatch, but the Company will make reasonable endeavours to notify the lead times for Goods, where known. Delivery will usually be made to the address specified by the Customer but the Company may insist on delivering to card billing addresses. The Company may use any method of delivery available to it. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to meet delivery and/or performance estimates, but in no circumstances shall it be liable to compensate the Customer for non-delivery, non-performance or late delivery or performance. Time for delivery and/or performance will not be of the essence.

6. Inspection, defects and non-delivery
The Customer must inspect the Goods as soon as is reasonably practicable.
The quantity of any consignment of Goods, as recorded by the Company upon despatch from the Company's place of business, shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Customer on delivery, unless the Customer can provide conclusive evidence to the contrary. The Company will not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods unless written notice is given to the Company within 3 working days of the date when Goods should have been delivered. The liability of the Company for non-delivery or non-performance or for Goods notified as defective will be limited to replacing the Goods in question, or to refunding the price paid for the relevant Goods.

7. Returns – trade/non consumers
Prior to returning any Goods to the Company for any reason, the Customer must contact the Company to obtain a returns authorisation number (RAN) within 7 days of delivery. All Goods are returned at the Customer's risk and expense and should be undamaged by the Customer and in their original packaging and must be accompanied by a RAN, and returned within 7 days of being notified of the RAN. The Customer is responsible for returning Goods to the Company and for providing proof of delivery of such return.  Any goods so returned will be subject to a handling charge of 20% or £10 whichever is greater.

8. Returns – Consumer Contracts Regulations - Consumers
If the Customer is buying as a 'consumer', as defined in The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the 2013 Regulations, as modified or amended from time to time), the Customer may, without giving any reason, within 14 days of delivery of the Goods, cancel his/her entire order and return the Goods unopened and in their original packaging and be repaid the price paid in respect of them within 14 days of their return (or, where no Goods have yet been delivered by the Company, within 14 days of cancellation of the order by the Customer). 

The Customer may cancel orders in part provided no Goods have been delivered at the point of cancellation.  Where Goods have been delivered, the Customer’s right to cancel must be exercised in respect of the whole of the order, or the whole of any individual Scheduled Delivery(ies) unless the Company agrees otherwise.  To return Goods on this basis, the Customer must notify the Company in writing by post or email at the addresses above and may obtain a RAN (see Condition 7) to facilitate returns above and return the Goods, in their original packaging, within the 14-day period quoting the Customer's account number and order number. Goods should be returned with proof of posting/shipping and the Customer is responsible for payment of all shipping/delivery costs for returns. In respect of certain Goods, the Company may prefer to arrange collection itself and, if requested, the Customer will allow the Company to collect the Goods and will assist in the arrangements for the Goods' collection. All reasonable costs of collection will be borne by the Customer. The Customer is responsible for the care and custody of the Goods pending their return or collection.

Following receipt of Goods which comply with this Condition, the Company will refund to the Customer the price paid in respect of the Goods (including the price of delivery but not any special delivery requested by the Customer) less any costs of collection/return.  The Company reserves the right to charge handling the reasonable costs of reduction in value caused by Customer’s handling, on all such returns, and may deduct this from any refunds under this Condition 8.  Nothing in this Condition 8 applies to any part of any order to the extent that regulations 6(1)(g) and or 28(1)(d) of the 2013 Regulations apply to the Goods in that order or part.

9. Description
All specifications, drawings, illustrations, data sheets, descriptions and particulars of weights, dimensions, capacity or other details including, without limitation, any statements regarding compliance with legislation or regulation  wherever they appear, (including on despatch notes, invoices or packaging) are intended to give a general idea of the Goods, but will not form part of the contract formed by any accepted order.

Merchants can change product vintage, size, colour, packaging and labelling at any time with no prior warning. Although we try to guarantee all images and descriptions are accurate and up to date online, we cannot guarantee the product vintage, size, colour, packaging and labelling when a product undergoes a change or changes.


10. Risk and ownership
The ownership of and risk of damage to or loss of Goods will pass to the Customer when the Goods are unloaded from the Company's carriers at the Customer's premises.

11. Performance and fitness for purpose
Unless any performance figures, tolerances or characteristics have been specifically and expressly warranted by a director of the Company in writing, the Company accepts no liability for any failure of the Goods to comply with any such criteria. The responsibility for ensuring that Goods are suitable for a particular purpose is the Customer's. Any advice or recommendation given by an employee of the Company which is not confirmed in writing by a director of the Company is acted on entirely at the Customer's risk and the Company shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed. Except as set out in Condition 13, the liability of the Company to the Customer, should any warranty, statement, advice or recommendation confirmed in accordance with this Condition prove to be incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, will be limited to the refund of the price paid for the Goods or, at the Company's option, the supply of replacement Goods.  Nothing in these Conditions is intended to nor does limit the operation of paragraph (p) of Schedule 2 to the 2013 Regulations in relation to “consumers”.

This obligation will not apply:
if the defect arises because the Customer has altered or repaired such Goods without the written consent of the Company;
because the Customer did not follow the manufacturers' instructions for storage or usage of the Goods;
if the Customer has failed to promptly notify the Company of any defect  where the defect should have been reasonably apparent on reasonable inspection; or
if the Customer fails to notify the Company of the defect within 1 month (or such other period as the Company shall specify at the time of acceptance of the order) of the date of despatch of the Goods.
Any replacement made will be guaranteed on these terms for any unexpired portion of the period of guarantee given on the original Goods. Any Goods which have been replaced will belong to the Company.
The Customer grants to the Company and its employees, agents and representatives a right to enter onto its premises to effect any replacement.
The Company's sole obligation and liability, should any Goods prove damaged or defective shall be limited to, at the Company's option, the  replacement of the relevant Goods or the refund of the price paid for the relevant Goods.
