Faulty Wine & Breakages

Faulty Wine

Although it’s extremely rare, if you receive a wine that is faulty, we will happily offer you a full refund or replacement once the item has been returned.

Please contact us so we can help you quickly:
contact our Customer Services team: sales@thefinewinecompany.co.uk

Our packaging is designed to protect your wine, but occasionally bottles can break during transit.

• Our courier, DPD, notifies us daily of any breakages detected during their delivery audit.
• As soon as we are informed, we automatically resend any broken items.
• However, it’s still important that you let us know if your order arrives with breakages so we can arrange a fast replacement.

We will always replace any wine broken in transit—whether it’s for your own order or a gift sent to friends, family, customers, or staff.

Please check both the number of parcels and the condition of your wines when signing for delivery.

We cannot be held liable for breakages after the delivery has been accepted and signed for.
