How to Order

Your shopping basket works as it would in a supermarket. You can add an item to your basket by clicking the 'add to basket' button shown next to each wine. Adding an item does not mean that you have to buy it, the shopping basket can be used as a way of keeping track of wines you might be interested in purchasing. Items can be removed at any point. You can view the contents of your basket by clicking the 'view' button of the basket summary in the top right corner of each page. Within the shopping basket page, you can change the quantity or remove any item from your basket. Once you've completed your shopping, finalise your purchase by clicking the 'checkout' button in the shopping basket page. If you haven't already signed-in or registered you'll be asked to do so at this time. Once signed-in / registered you'll be asked to enter your payment and delivery details to complete your purchase.

Delivery

Delivery is £7.99 per delivery, regardless of how many cases you order. Your order should arrive within a week. Please allow a few extra days for delivery to Northern Ireland or the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Delivery is to residents of the UK only, excluding Channel Islands, Orkneys and Shetland Islands. If you have not received your order within seven days, or if an order arrives damaged please notify Averys as soon as possible. Please note, we can not deliver to P.O. Box addresses.

What is En Primeur?

It means reserving top vintages before they are bottled. By paying an instalment 'up front', you reserve wine while it is still in the barrel, months before official release. You need only pay the 'cellar door' cost. Prior to delivery, we will invoice you for the second instalment which will include shipping, insurance, duty and VAT on the total.

Allergens and wine

You may have noticed the addition of allergen information to wine labels highlighting egg and milk. There is a new requirement under EU legislation to label with these allergens as well as sulphites on labels and on our websites and in our brochures when they are used as an ingredient or a processing aid in wine and remain in the wine at or above certain limits. You will see the words:

Contains egg, contains milk, contains sulphites or a combination, such as contains egg and sulphites.

Egg and milk proteins are commonly used to clarify wines (also known as fining) during the winemaking process and have been for decades. They do not generally remain in the wine, so are unlikely to affect milk or egg allergic individuals, though in some cases minute traces may remain. Under EU law, any wine containing more than 0.25ppm of egg or milk must be labelled with the appropriate allergen.

All wines contain sulphur dioxide in various forms, collectively known as sulphites. Sulphites occur naturally in all living things and are present at low levels even in unsulphured wines. However, as sulphites help to protect wine from oxidization or from turning into vinegar, most wines (even organic) also contain sulphites as a permitted additive, usually added at bottling or at the end of fermentation. Some types of wine naturally contain fewer sulphites and fewer tend to be found in older wines. It is our policy to work with conscientious growers, all of whom work within safe, EU-controlled levels. Under EU law, any wine containing more than 10mg/l (litre) of sulphur dioxide must be labelled with this allergen.
