We accept MAESTRO (SWITCH), DELTA and other debit cards, VISA and MASTERCARD. We need the number, start and expiry dates, the name as on the card. And the issue number for Maestro cards. Plus the three figure security code. For the first order, the card address must be the same as the delivery address. Or we will send to your work address. You can send details separately or go the HSBC Secure e-payments site and give them authority up to a maximum sum (UK orders only). There can be discounts - these are sorted out later.

Note we do not do credit for trade customers. We’re only a tiny business, and hate chasing money. If you want credit, use a card.

We own all our stock. We are not brokers. I’ve not put exact stock levels on the PDF list, as it obviously changes all the time.

The database is more up-to-date, but is not dynamically linked to the stock (too techie). And my stocktaking is not an exact science! Have been known to get it wrong. Message, or ring for a chat, and I’ll give you exact numbers when I’ve actually counted and checked!

The minimum order is 12 mixed items. No extra charge for mixing case orders. For packing, we appreciate orders in sixes: 12, 18, 24, etc., but we’re flexible. And we will do less than 12 items, if the total is at least £180.

In the first instance, you can use the wine database to place an order request, or e-mail. Or telephone if you wish, 01531 636400. Do please ask for advice. I do know our wines very personally. I’ll physically check the stock, and suggest alternatives if necessary. Note I never substitute without your approval.

Sending an order request:

To get a wine selection assembled online, and give payment details, go to the wine database.

If yours is a selection you'd just like some info about, go as as far as checking out, seeing a summary and the address boxes, then copy and paste the summary into an e-mail together with your questions.

Or if you already have the list, and want to check the stock - in a quick way? Use the wine order form.

Or if you prefer a straightforward message, then just email us.
