    • We only guarantee wines that are shipped in accordance with our shipping policy.

    • For spoiled or cooked wines, you might be asked to provide evidence in the form of a sample. We understand the frustration and disappointment or receiving bad wine. Since the perception of wine flavor is subjective and varies by individual, we cannot guarantee refunds for wines described as spoiled, cooked, or bad. Each refund will be considered on a case by case basis.

Refunds and returns will not be considered for the following reasons:

  1. You did not like the wine, it was not what you expected, or it underperformed.

  3. You changed your mind about ordering the wine.

  4. You ordered the wrong wine.

Please note that purchases of wines over 40 years old are non-refundable and sold as-is, with no guarantees on the condition or drinkability. The buyer assumes all risk associated with the purchase of older bottles. At Grand Cru Vault, we celebrate the enduring craftsmanship that allows great wines to age gracefully for decades—sometimes even a century or more. However, due to the natural variability and fragility of such old vintages, we cannot ensure the wine’s quality or longevity. Whether you intend to showcase a historic bottle as part of your collection or open it to taste a rare piece of wine history, we do not offer returns or refunds on wines older than 40 years.

Keeping our clients satisfied is our number one priority. Please feel free to reach out us for any reason. You will not be ignored, and you will have the opportunity to speak with a person. That my guarantee -Paul Anderson
