First time order

Please appreciate that we are a neighbourhood walk-in shop which primarily caters to looking after local customers by the bottle, or by the case. With 40 years experience of shop keeping we are less natural at automated online sales. Many of the wines we get we might only have one case and by the time our website is updated, half the case might well be sold so as good as our shop is, if we can look you in the eye, our online is comparatively second best. 

As such we excel if you are able to walk into our shop and see a much broader range of wines and we don't have a team of minions behind the scenes packing and dispatching across the globe! We are happy to send but with deliberate limitations. In the past we have used country wide couriers (Parcel Force, Point-to-Point, Fed-Ex, DHL and others) but we typically had a one in six failure rates so today use DEEVEE LOGISTICS who are a wine only specialist carrier. They are sufficiently experienced that we can even send open cases to you but that limitation means they are...

London-wide

Berkshire

Surrey

Hertfordshire

Buckinghamshire

East Oxfordshire (Up to Oxford)

East Hampshire

Kent

Essex

West Sussex

 

In other words, 60 to 90 minutes out of London only.

The casualty rate (lost, broken, stolen...) was such that it became detrimental to use faceless couriers that perennially subcontract to others. So our scope is limited but that quality and reliability of service is better assured. You are of course welcome to instruct your own carrier to collect any wine from us and we will package accordingly.

So, whatever you spot on the website it would likely be even better if you called us directly or emailed us and we will happily talk you through how a given wine is drinking, what our stock level is, and when it could be collected or delivered.
