How can I check where my order is?

We will send you an e-mail when the order has been despatched.You can check the progress of your order online if you sign in and go to Your Account, where our online tracking facility will tell you where your wine is.

Why are my cases sometimes despatched separately?

In order to ensure that you receive the wine on your order as quickly as possible we despatch each case as and when it is ready. This means that orders for more than one case may be delivered separately. Please do not be alarmed if this happens, it should mean that the rest of the order is not far behind. You can check the progress of each case in the Order History area of Your Account when signed in to the site.

How do I search for wine online?

You can easily search our online cellars by entering in your search term directly into the Search box or selecting one of the options on the left hand side of the screen.

You can even use our food match option to select the perfect companion to the food you wish to serve.
