Waitrose wine en primeur service
Buying En Primeur
We offer you the chance to buy these wines while they are still maturing in
the barrel. Once the wines have been bottled and shipped they can be delivered
direct to your door, or stored for you in ideal conditions until you are ready
to take delivery.
Many of our wines are available only in very limited quantities. Orders will
be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis, and the most sought-after may be
restricted to one case per customer.
Paying for your wines
First payment
The prices in this leaflet include shipping charges and insurance, the
invoice will state your wine as net of duty and VAT. Prices are valid until
August 31 2008. Once we have received your payment, we will send you an invoice
as proof of purchase. Payment can be made by cheque, Mastercard, Visa
Partnership Card* or Maestro. Please make cheques payable to Lay & Wheeler Ltd,
Holton Park, Holton St Mary, CO7 6NN, England.
Second payment
This payment becomes due when your wines are delivered to you. It covers the
cost of excise duty at the time of shipment, delivery within the UK, and VAT
(duty and VAT may vary) on these costs as well as on the original purchase price
of your wine.**
Shipping and delivery
The Waitrose En Primeur service is run in association with Lay & Wheeler, who
will process your order, ship the wines on your behalf and invoice the duty and
VAT when you take delivery. The 2007 Bordeaux will be shipped during Summer
2010. We will contact you to confirm delivery instructions when your wines
arrive in the UK and you will be advised of the delivery charges in force at
that time. Prices vary according to the number of cases and the delivery service
required. For more information, please contact the Waitrose En Primeur Service.
Cellarage
En Primeur wines will be shipped to the Vinothèque bonded warehouse in
Burton-on-Trent. If you would like your wines to be stored for you, please
contact the Waitrose En Primeur Service. Our associates at Lay & Wheeler are
experts in fine wine cellarage and will set up a customer reserves account for
you. These wines will remain in Vinothèque’s bonded cellars until Lay & Wheeler
receive further instruction. Any cases stored on your behalf will be subject to
Lay & Wheeler’s competitive cellarage charges as part of their Portfolio
service. Please see the terms and conditions of Lay & Wheelers Portfolio Service
