WHAT ARE 'MARKETPLACE' WINES?
The majority of the wines we list are sourced from the market. This includes direct from growers, exclusive distributors and agents and European Trade stockholders.
The typical lead time for consolidation, shippinng and arrival into our cellars from confirmed order is approximately 6 to 8 weeks.
Once we have received your wines, we will deliver to your chosen UK or International address or transfer to your chosen storage account.
WHAT ARE 'IMMEDIATE' WINES?
These are immediately available wines held in our temperature-controlled cellars at London City Bond.
All of the wines have been rigorously checked by our warehouse staff and condition reports, including photographs, are available on request.
Next day delivery is available to all London addresses and for other UK addresses delivery is typically within one week. International delivery is also available.
EN PRIMEUR WINES
The 'ORDER' status means that these wines are now available for you to buy. Collection of your wines is arranged once they have been bottled and released by the producers. Lead times for bottling can vary between 6-24 months, or sometimes even longer depending on the wine. On arrival your wines are landed into your own bonded storage account, or delivered to your instructions at current rates. We highly recommend storage in our fully insured, climate controlled and secure bonded facility, where your wines can mature quietly and undisturbed until they reach their drinking window, or from where they can be sold at the click of a mouse.
The '+ALERT ME' status signifies that these wines are likely to become available soon or that we have currently sold out and are actively seeking more via our extensive network. By clicking Alert Me, you will be informed via email as soon as it becomes available.
Please note that delivery to UK and EU addresses attract duty and VAT, which can only be invoiced at the time of delivery.
If you require any further information, please email our Customer Services Team who will be happy to assist.
HOW ARE YOUR PRICES CALCULATED?
We actively track thousands of prices across Europe every day, immediately reacting to any price movement and enabling us to list thousands of wines at very competitive prices. Our prices 'float' with the market, and if the market for any wine moves, then our prices will reflect that.
EN PRIMEUR PRICES
En Primeur prices are quoted ‘in bond’, i.e. without duty or VAT, but do include transport to our world-class bonded storage facility at London City Bond in Tilbury.

This wine has been flagged as less than 'perfect condition' (taking into consideration its age). The relevant indicators can include: lower content level, bin-soiled label, damaged cap etc. As a result, this is available at a discounted market price.
Please contact us to request condition reports and photos.
UK duty on this item has already been paid.
For UK and EU clients this means that VAT will still need to be paid at the prevailing rate. This does not affect non-EU export orders.
What Are ‘En Primeur’ Wines?
‘En primeur’ wines, or wine ‘futures’ are those that are bought before the wine has been bottled and are still in the barrel. They are bought in bond – i.e. excluding duty and VAT. For many wines, buying ‘en primeur’ allows you to buy at a better price than buying after the wine has been bottled and shipped. The wine typically arrives in the UK one to three years after the harvest, therefore up to two years after you have made your purchase.
