Delivery
When placing an order you will be informed of the cost of delivery to your address/country during the checkout process and this includes transport and delivery of your order.
Orders to be delivered to any EU country include local VAT tax and our company is subject to paying VAT in each EU country where we sell.
Furthermore, all the products we sell are already legal for the consumer market with taxes paid, which means that we are authorized to sell our products to any country within the EU.
There may be some exceptions where the law of the country requires the payment of a local tax on wines or spirits. In these cases, the amount may be requested at the time of delivery of the goods, so check with your local authorities whether you are entitled to import wines from another EU member state and what fees may be charged.
Prices for customers outside the EU do not include local VAT or any other local taxes.
Import procedures are managed by our transport partner, which means that upon arrival of your order, they will present it to local customs and contact you with the amounts to be paid for importing the merchandise and how to proceed with payment. .
In most countries, taxes will depend on the value of the order and excise taxes on the type and number of products in the order. We cannot guarantee that you are not eligible to pay duties and taxes in your country, so please contact your local customs office to verify this and find out the amounts involved before placing your order.
If you can't find your country in the Country selection box during the checkout process, it's because we don't deliver to your country. You can contact us by email and we can offer you an alternative delivery option if we have any way of guaranteeing the successful delivery of your order. For corporate orders use our contact form or email to place your order and we will provide you with our best price for the order and the lowest possible shipping costs.
The products you order will be delivered to the address you provide when placing your order. When placing your order you can contact us with instructions for delivery alternatives in case you are not at the address on the scheduled delivery day.
All installments must be signed for upon delivery by a person of legal drinking age. If there is no one at the address eligible to receive the merchandise, the recipient will be notified of an alternative day for delivery or will be asked to contact the transport company to arrange a new delivery. If after several failed delivery attempts to the address provided and an eligible recipient is not present to sign for receipt of the package, or if no effort is made by the recipient to contact the shipping company to reschedule a new delivery, the package will be returned to our warehouse. In this case, a delivery surcharge may be paid by the customer, so that the goods can be resent. The Company will contact you to schedule this new delivery.
Every effort will be made to deliver goods within 3 to 5 working days, however in rare cases delivery time may be up to 10 working days. The Company will not be responsible for any loss or damage suffered by you arising from any delay in delivery.
After delivery, you become the owner of the goods you ordered and are responsible for any risk of loss or damage to the products you receive.

Ruptures and failures
If there are breaks in your order, we will refund the cost of the damaged bottles by creating a voucher, refunding the amount to your credit card, your paypal account, your bank account or we will send replacement bottles. We will always return any product that you receive damaged. Each box must be carefully checked upon delivery to make sure it is intact and the order is complete.
