In-bond wines

In-bond wines, bought through our En Primeur and First Release offers, allow you to spread the cost of purchase by deferring payment of duty and VAT on your wine until you wish to have the wine delivered. These are wines which will be delivered to our bonded Reserves, and remain stored this way until you withdraw them from Stevenage when duty and VAT is paid.

En primeur

We offer wine from all over the world en primeur – while it is still in the winery, waiting to be bottled. It’s a great way to chalk your name on something special.

How it works, what to expect and how to get the best out of your en primeur buying.

Wine Society member, writer and broadcaster David Kermode gives his views on buying wine when it is first released for sale.

First release

Buying wine First Release is a fantastic way to secure sought-after wines that have been bottled and are about to be shipped to the UK, at their opening prices. You pay the in-bond price: when they arrive, the decision of when to take delivery or drink them is yours.
