Help/FAQ

Also known as Wine Futures, En Primeur refers to the process of buying wines before they are bottled and released onto the market. Wines are purchased exclusive of Duty and VAT and then usually shipped 2-3 years after the vintage. They can only be purchased by the unmixed case (12 bottles, 24 half bottles, 6 magnums etc.).

See Available En Primeur Vintages

The price of the wine is exclusive of Duty and VAT (but inclusive of shipping and insurance). Once the wines arrive in the UK, Duty and VAT can be deferred further if the wine is stored 'in bond' in a registered bonded warehouse. If it is possible that you may re-sell your wines later, it is advisable to store them under bond.

All prices for En Primeur wines are quoted in Euro.

Upon check-out you will have the option to pay by Credit Card or by Bank Transfer depending on the size of your order.

If by Credit Card, you will be charged the reference price in Hong Kong Dollars.

If by Bank Transfer, you will be requested to remit in Euro.
