Buying wine online: compare the full offer

Format, vintage, availability, shipping and terms: what to check.

01

Identify producer, wine, appellation, vintage and volume. A 37.5 cl price differs from 75 cl; a case is not a bottle. Check immediate stock, reservation or en primeur status.

02

Compare total cost for your destination, including stated shipping and fees. At auction, note buyer fees and lot terms. For en primeur, check schedule, taxes and later delivery charges; displayed price may not be final cost.

03

For older vintages, seek provenance, fill level, label, capsule and storage information. Lot photos and a precise sheet are more useful than a general vintage score. Bottle condition is individual.

04

Before paying, check destinations, stated times, returns and breakage procedure. Terms change: our directory profiles merchants without prices or delivery guarantees. Consult the shop’s official page for your order.

Compare cost per bottle and per 75 cl

Enter your offer in one currency with known taxes. The calculation normalises volume, not wine quality or provenance. No seller prices are prefilled.

Formula: (lot price + fees) ÷ bottle count; multiply by 75 ÷ volume in cl for the 75 cl equivalent.
