Shipping policy

This policy is solely for purchases made through Monty’s Wine Emporium at www.montyswineemporium.com and should be read in conjunction with our Terms of service. “We”, “us”, and “our” refers to Montague Fine & Rare Wines Limited; “you” means the customer agreeing to this policy.

We refuse to sell or deliver alcohol to anyone who is, or appears to be, under the age of 18. By placing an order (in line with our terms and conditions), you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, and we and our couriers reserve the right to ask for a form of ID or not to deliver the goods if we are unsure about the recipient’s age.

Alcohol will not be delivered to anyone who appears intoxicated. Please drink responsibly and refer to www.drinkaware.co.uk for more information.

Deliveries are not left unattended unless specifically asked to do so. If you request via email or in the comments section at checkout that we leave your order with no one at home, this is done entirely at your own risk, and any losses will not be replaceable. If you are out when delivery is attempted, you will receive communications from our courier with instructions on how to arrange re-delivery.

If your order is placed before 12:00 pm GMT on a weekday, delivery to a mainland UK address will typically be the following day, including Saturdays (except Bank Holiday Weekends).

Our UK shipping costs include duty and VAT.

National Deliveries (England and Wales)
Orders over £99.00 = Free
Orders under £99.00 = £9.99

National Deliveries (Scotland and Northern Ireland)
All orders = £45.00

Please note that purchases made through our website cannot be delivered to the Scottish Highlands, Isle of Wight and Scilly Isles, the Channel Islands or destinations outside the UK. However, please contact us at drink@montyswineemporium.com if you wish to deliver outside the mainland UK. We are unable to ship to PO Box addresses.

Delivery charges apply to each Subscribe & Save shipment on the same basis as set out above, assessed per shipment after your subscriber discount has been applied. As subscription orders are processed automatically when rebilling occurs, the time and day of dispatch will vary, and next-day delivery cannot be guaranteed for these orders. Full details of the service are set out in our Terms of service.
