Pricing policy
All our wine prices are ex-VAT. This is because you have the option of collecting your wine in France or having it delivered to your home in the UK. When we know which option you wish, we apply the appropriate VAT rate as follows:
UK deliveries = UK VAT @ 17.5% (20% in 2011)
Collect in France (vineyard or Calais) = French VAT @ 19.6%
When your wine is ready, you will receive your Wine Option letter with fully inclusive sterling prices for all delivery options. We calculate the sterling prices according to the exchange rate on the offer date and add on delivery costs for Calais/UK if required.
One thing we can guarantee is that your wine will be excellent value for money. Because we work very closely with our winemakers, many of our wines represent great value compared to wines of an equivalent quality from a standard UK retailer.
