Shipping policy

Title and ownership on all Wine passes to the buyer at the time of purchase.

All wines purchased from Story in a Bottle Wines LLC are sold at its licensed premises in Bellevue, Washington, where title passes to the buyer.  For a shipping and handling fee, Story in a Bottle Wines will, at the request of the buyer, arrange shipment of the wines to a buyer in certain other states.  Buyers are advised that some states place restrictions, including but not limited to limits on quantity, on the alcoholic beverages which a resident may bring into the state.  We make no representations concerning your legal right to ship or receive wine into any state outside Washington. The buyer is responsible for compliance with their State Laws regarding wine import and taxation. 

Interstate shipping laws for wine are constantly changing, and we reserve the right to refuse to ship to any state. We do not ship to PO boxes, APO/PPO addresses or third-party rental centers.  In addition, we do not ship to addresses in foreign countries, nor to freight forwarders or brokers who intend to ship the wines to destinations outside of the U.S.

You must be at least 21 years of age to order, purchase and receive wine by U.S. federal law. Story in a Bottle Wines LLC requires the signature of an adult (minimum 21 years of age) upon delivery of the order.

 Please be aware of the delivery information provided in your shipment confirmation email. The shipment date and destination address cannot be changed once shipment is confirmed. Restocking fees may apply for returned shipments.

Story in a Bottle Wines is not responsible for damage to wine, including leakage or damaged corks, resulting from heat or extreme temperatures during shipment. During periods of heat or extreme cold, please contact us so that we may hold your shipment for a pre-determined amount of time.  We reserve the right to hold shipment of your wine during extreme weather conditions, or for carrier service disruptions due to inclement weather.
