1 Please be sure you have chosen your Ship To state correctly, as regulations in certain areas of the U.S. prohibit their residents from receiving wine shipments directly.
2 These states are limited to accessories and non-wine Gourmet Food Baskets only. The Magnificent Wine Company does not ship wine to these states due to current legal restrictions.
3 Local laws prevent us from shipping to certain zip codes in these states. Information regarding zip codes that are not currently serviced by The Magnificent Wine Company will appear at the time that orders are placed.
* State regulations in Connecticut prohibit wine and food from being shipped in the same package. As such, The Magnificent Wine Company does not offer for sale in these states any gift baskets, clubs or collections that contain both food and wine.
** State regulations in New York prohibit wine and food from being shipped in the same package. Baskets ordered that include both food and wine will be sent in two separate packages.
*** Texas state law prohibits us from shipping wines containing more than 16% alcohol.
Shipping states - why you must choose before shopping
Because wine availability and pricing may vary from state to state due to the way interstate commerce laws influence our buying patterns, The Magnificent Wine Company created this layover welcome screen to prevent confusion.
We've learned from experience that customers sometimes browse while "shopping in" a default state, then switch states when they're ready to complete an order, only to discover the wine they want isn't available or is priced differently for that location.
We have found that the select-state layover screen, while a little intrusive, almost entirely eliminates the chance of customers being disappointed by the way their order can be affected if they don't choose a shipping state before shopping.
Shipping states - why The Magnificent Wine Company can't ship everywhere (even under new laws)
Some states do not allow retailers to ship wine over state lines, so if a retailer doesn't have a warehouse in these states, it cannot sell wine to customers in these states. We can, however, ship many other products like gift baskets and gourmet foods to these states, and customers in these states can order gifts of wine for friends and family elsewhere.
Recent changes to some state alcohol-shipping laws (made in the wake of a 2005 Supreme Court ruling on interstate wine sales) apply only to direct shipments from wineries, and have no effect on wine retailers like The Magnificent Wine Company.

Merchandise Damaged in Shipping
It is unusual to receive a damaged product from The Magnificent Wine Company. However, in the event you do experience a problem with a shipment, please contact us within 30 days of your purchase date by visiting our Customer Service area and email info@magnificentwine.com. We may require you to return any unopened bottles to us for quality control information and will determine this once contacted. At our discretion we may offer a replacement, a discount, a refund or an account credit to be used for a later purchase.
DELIVERY
Shipping and handling - prices and rush shipping options
For standard delivery of wine, The Magnificent Wine Company charges a base rate of $8.95 per order, plus $1.00 per bottle. Shipping rates for non-wine items start at $7.99, and vary based on weight and quantity. (Orders to Alaska will include an additional $5.00 charge.)
In most cases, The Magnificent Wine Company offers three delivery options - Standard, Priority, and Express. The estimated delivery times and costs of these options can vary based on the weight and availability of products. (Quick-selling or rare items may be back-ordered up to a few days.) While under many circumstances we are able to deliver orders within a day or two, at this time The Magnificent Wine Company cannot guarantee overnight delivery.
When placing a Magnificent Wine Company order, all delivery options available for your shipment will appear during the "Confirm Order" step of the checkout process, showing the costs and estimated delivery times for each based on your particular order. (Some states allow only standard ground shipping for alcohol.)
Adult signature - why it's required for delivery
Legally, wine can only be delivered when someone 21 or older is present to sign for the delivery. Signees do not need to be the person whose name is on the package, but they may have to show proof of age.
If this is not possible at a customer's home, The Magnificent Wine Company is happy to address your shipment(s) to a work address or to a neighbor who is home during normal delivery hours.
Delivery arrangements - scheduling special times or days
The Magnificent Wine Company has no influence over the routes and schedules of delivery companies, and thus cannot help you make special arrangements for delivery times.
Armed with this information, we're open to suggestions. But here's ours: We would be happy to address your shipment(s) to a work address or to a neighbor who is home during normal delivery hours.
Future ship dates - holding orders for later shipping
The Magnificent Wine Company offers future-ship options for specific holiday occasions - Valentine's Day, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve. When these options are available, they appear in The Magnificent Wine Company Shopping Cart just below the list of products in your order and above the "show gift options" checkbox.
Other times of year if you desire to have a The Magnificent Wine Company delivery arrive close to a particular date, your best option is to order 4 to 5 days in advance of that date.
In order to ensure we provide timely deliveries, The Magnificent Wine Company generally ships orders the next business day after the order is placed, unless a product is out of stock
Wine orders are available for Pick-Up at Precept Brands, corporate office for The Magnificent Wine Company during normal business hours, Monday-Friday, 8am – 5pm.
