How to buy from Europe
European regulations do not allow shops in one country to send alcohol to individuals in another member state, but the buyer "CAN" buy in any European country for his own consumption and collect it himself or by transport ordered by him. > Link to the European regulation <

FAQS:
- Is there a limit to what I can buy?
Each country has a bottle limit. We prepare the bottles in boxes of up to 12 bottles, so you can use companies such as CourierF1, UPS or GLS that even if you pay for the transport of 24 or more bottles, they will make 1 parcel dispatch every 12 bottles, so you will never exceed the limit in a single shipment.
- Can customs stop my shipment?
Not according to European regulations, as you are organizing the transport yourself and buying the bottles for your own use.
- Will the price be higher?
On the contrary, you will save money. Companies such as CourierF1, UPS or FedEx, have better prices than the shops due to their high volume of shipments. They also offer different types of shipping from premium to economic, and you can decide what you need, depending on your purchase.
- There are other shops that do ship directly.
It is possible, but it is illegal and there is a great risk that the package will be stopped by customs in your country and you will be taxed or the package will be destroyed, and you will lose both bottles and your money. Always look at the conditions and fine print of these pages, as they are not responsible for customs problems.
- What if there are problems with shipping?
CourierF1, UPS or FedEx, etc. will be responsible for managing any transport incidents, whilst we will be responsible for any problems with the goods collected. If for example something was not right entered inside the box by mistake. Our service includes images of the assembly and the bottles inside the box, so the whole process is very controlled and always at your disposal.
Depending on the shape of the bottles, your products will be packed in boxes of 1-3-6-12 bottles and insurance-certified interiors:
