Wine · from our bonded warehouse Twelve countries,
thirteen grapes.
The Wine Cellar runs from a weeknight bottle to fine wine, and a good deal of it is the sort you would normally only meet on a restaurant list. Buy by the single bottle into a mixed case of your own. Wine has a minimum order of £275, and delivery is always free.

The cellar
Every country, every price, and bottles you normally only meet on a wine list
The wine comes out of our own bonded warehouse rather than a third party, and that is what lets us carry the range we do: twelve countries, thirteen grapes, everything from a weeknight bottle to fine wine, and a fair part of it the sort that usually only reaches a table through a restaurant. Here you buy it as the public, by the single bottle, in a mixed case of your own making.

France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Argentina, Chile and South Africa

The terms, plainly
The minimum order value on wine is £275
That is an order total, not a case requirement
A single bottle of anything is fine — build the £275 across as many as you like
Delivery on wine is always free
Wine is not part of the capped delivery that covers the food
A wine order and a food order travel separately and arrive separately
Delivered on our own vans, so a breakage is ours to prevent rather than a courier’s
Why there is a minimum
Wine leaves bond on our own vans rather than through a parcel network. That is how it arrives unbroken and at the right temperature, and it is why an order has to be worth the journey. Two hundred and seventy five pounds, and the journey itself is free.
Restaurant wine, bought as the public
A fair part of the list is wine that normally only reaches a table through a restaurant. Because the warehouse is ours, you can buy those bottles directly, one at a time, without a trade account.
How wine reaches you
Wine comes from the bonded warehouse, not the kitchen.
The five kitchens pick, pack and send everything else on this site. Wine passes through none of them. It is picked from our own bonded wine warehouse and delivered on our own vans, by us, with nobody else handling it in between.
Two things follow from that, and we would rather say them here than spring them on you at the checkout. Wine has a minimum order of £275. And delivery on wine is always free — it never carries a charge, and it is not part of the capped delivery that covers the food.
The £275 is an order value, not a case requirement. Buy a single bottle of anything and make the rest up however you like, across twelve countries and thirteen grapes.
A wine order and a food order are two separate journeys. Wine will not arrive in the same parcel as the food, and it is not timed to land on the same day.
From the bonded warehouse
Picked once and driven to you on our own vans. No courier, no breakages.
Free delivery, always
Wine never carries a delivery charge, and it is not part of the cap on the food.
£275 minimum order
Said here rather than at the checkout. Single bottles into a mixed case.
The food side
Five kitchens, one delivery day
The food on this site comes from five kitchens. Order from as many as you like and delivery is capped for the whole order, with everything timed to arrive on one day. Wine is not part of that — it comes separately, from the bonded warehouse.
Ready when you are
Minimum order £275, delivery always free, delivered on our own vans.
