Adult Signature Requirement:

We strongly suggest shipping your order to a business address, as State law requires an adult signature at the time of delivery for any package containing wine. It is the recipient’s responsibility to ensure an adult is available to sign for the shipment at delivery. Shipments will not be delivered under the following circumstances:

  • The recipient is not 21 years of age or older or does not have an acceptable form of ID such as a driver's license, passport or birth certificate.
  • The recipient shows signs of intoxication.

Key Facts About Shipping:

  • Orders cannot be shipped the same day they are placed online.
  • Shipping wine is complex due to various state-mandated limits and requirements. We verify orders through our state compliance matrix to ensure the legality of all shipments. It takes one business day to verify and process an order, then an additional day for picking and packing.
  • If you would like to schedule an order with a shipping datein the future, please call us at (800) 588-0298 rather than using the online store. We are happy to schedule orders for future shipping dates, pending inventory availability.
  • May through September, we ship on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in order to minimize any potential heat hazards.

*Please know that Ground service does not have a “delivery day agreement” and is therefore not recommended for customers who must arrange to have someone 21 or older present at the delivery address to accept their wine shipment. If you are making arrangements to have someone 21 or older available all day on the delivery day to sign for the wine, please select 2-Day Air service to ensure a specific delivery date.

Furthermore, if you select Ground Service, service may take 1 to 5 business days for delivery; we are not able to guarantee a delivery date.

**Due to heat conditions in some states, we no longer offer Ground shipping and continuing through the fall.
