Seasonal Delivery Notes
At all times we aim to ensure speedy delivery. This minimises the risk of situations occurring in transit that could damage wine or compromise its quality. We monitor weather conditions at points of origin and destination and do not despatch wine on days when the temperature reaches or is forecast to reach 30 degrees Celsius. Despite this, it is important to note that Langton’s insurance does not cover heat damage, should it occur. More
