Age restriction
- We will not sell wine to anyone who isn't 18 years old or over. When you register your details you will be required to enter a valid date of birth to confirm you are 18 years old or older. By placing an order you also confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
- If you are buying a case of wine as a gift - the recipient must also be over 18 years old.
- If our couriers are in any doubt about the age of the recipient on delivery, they will request some form of ID. If the person receiving the wine is unable to produce appropriate ID, unfortunately our couriers will be unable to leave the wine.

- Where you enter into an agreement to receive free delivery on wine orders (e.g. WinePass) you agree to us holding your payment details and charging your registered payment method as agreed. You also agree to us requesting updated details from your payment provider should the details of your payment method change and to charge the updated payment method in the same way as the original payment method. We reserve the right to take payment from another registered payment method if we fail to take payment from your default payment method or your default payment method has expired. This in no way restricts your rights to cancel.
