The Basics
What is a Secret Wine?

A Secret Wine is an offer by us of a fully labelled and branded wine from a premium producer that you can purchase at a discount of up to 75%.   To protect the winery’s brand in the broader market and in return for the deep discounts we are able to offer, we are obligated to not advertise or reveal the winery’s name until your order reaches your doorstep.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payment by Mastercard, VISA, and Amex cards.  We also accept payment through PayPal.

How will my wine be shipped to me?

Secret Wines are shipped to you directly by Vintners through Australia Post. Most other wines will be shipped to you directly from the winery and they will use their own couriers to deliver the wine to you. Because shipping from the wineries generally takes a little longer, please allow up to 10 days for delivery. Your reward for this patience is highly competitive pricing and a more direct relationship with the premium wineries we work with.

Do you deliver anywhere in Australia?

We ship across all of mainland Australia, excluding the Northern Territory.   

How much will I be charged for delivery?

Shipping is calculated at checkout.

What should I do if my order is delayed / does not arrive? 

Our Secret Wines are in stock, in our warehouse, when we offer them for sale on our website or through our regular email offers. Other wines will similarly be in stock at the producer’s winery. In the unlikely event that a winery fails to advise us a wine is in fact out of stock when you order it, and we cannot supply it as a result, we will contact you immediately to offer you an alternative or a full refund. Your order will normally be dispatched the same day and no later than two business days from the order date.

You will be sent an email advising you of the tracking number when your order is dispatched. Use this tracking number to follow your order from dispatch to delivery, in most cases through the Australia Post (website at www.austpost.com.au), or otherwise through the courier the winery advises following the shipment of your order. Please always check the couriers website, using the tracking number, Australia Post website, and also with your local Australia Post Office in case they are holding your parcel there, for an update on your order BEFORE contacting us. Also, please check for any cards or notes the couriers may have left at your delivery address advising a pick location for your parcel. They may have attempted delivery but elected to not leave your parcel because they deemed it unsafe to do so.

What happens if I am not home when my wine is delivered?

Alcoholic products are a special category that couriers will deliver only if an adult is able to sign for them upon delivery and/or the premises are deemed sufficiently secure. Couriers may, therefore, elect to deliver your parcel to a nearby depot, such as a Post Office, for you to pick up if they deem it unsafe to leave it at your nominated delivery address.

Providing the courier’s delivery driver deems your premises sufficiently secure, they will leave your delivery at your nominated delivery location.

Alternatively, they will leave a card advising you that your parcel will be available for collection from their nearest depot, your local Post Office in the case of an Australia Post delivery.

We recommend you check the website of the courier advised to you when your order has been dispatched to confirm the specifics or their delivery policy, which may change from time to time.

What should I do if my delivery is damaged?

If your delivery is damaged, please contact us at sales@vintnersdirect.com.au with specifics of the issue and your contact details. Our policy is to credit you for the damaged bottle(s) or, if we deem it more practical, to replace the damaged goods.

Can I collect my order?

No. The terms of our liquor license do notpermit collection by customers from our premises.

Ordering
Do you accept orders over the phone?

No, we do not take phone orders. The only ways to place an order are through our secure website and by using the links to our website ordering system provided in the offers we email to subscribed customers each week.

Can I re-order a wine I have purchased previously from Vintners Direct? 

Absolutely, providing we haven’t sold out. Refer to our website to confirm which of our products that are still in stock. 

How do I know Vintners Direct has received my order?

After placing an order, you will receive a confirmation email with a tax invoice for your purchase. Please check the details to ensure they are correct and that your account information with us is up to date.  Don’t forget to check you spam folder for our confirmation email.
