Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at (424) 414-2040 or via e-mail at hello@primalwine.com between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Sunday, we would like to understand and try to solve your concerns. We can offer refunds only as store credit.

Producer profile

The Epicurean Trader

Brightland was founded in 2018 by Aishwarya Iyer and is based in Los Angeles, California. Iyer began the company after researching cooking oils, learning that a large share of olive oil sold in the United States was rancid or adulterated. She debuted the first two Brightland olive oils in 2018 and later expanded the range. The company now offers extra virgin olive oils, flavor-infused olive oils, double-fermented vinegars, and raw unfiltered honey. It sources its ingredients from small family-owned farms in California, and its honey comes from apiaries in California and Kauai. Brightland is a women-owned brand.

The organic grapes used in Brightland's vinegars are grown in Northern California. Rapture uses California Zinfandel grapes together with Triple Crown blackberries, a thornless, semi-erect cultivar grown on family farms. The blackberries are sourced from a small family farm on California's Central Coast. Triple Crown produces large, glossy fruit and is described as nutrient-dense. The company states its products are sourced directly from family-owned farms in California and are made using peak-season fruit. Brightland describes its farming sources as organic and its practices as centered on sustainability.

Rapture is a raw vinegar that is double fermented, first from the grapes and then into vinegar, and both the balsamic and its companion champagne vinegar are distilled on a family farm on the Central Coast. It retains the mother, a naturally occurring enzyme. The finished vinegar is diluted with water to 5% acidity and sweetened with organic cane sugar. It is made in very limited batches. Rapture is bottled in a 200 ml recyclable glass bottle. The product is plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free.

Wine region

California, United States

California's Central Coast runs along the Pacific between the San Francisco Bay Area and greater Los Angeles, taking in coastal valleys and inland ranges. The region draws moderating influence from the Pacific Ocean, with marine air and fog reaching inland through gaps in the coastal hills. Northern California, the source of the organic grapes used here, includes the Sierra Foothills, an area of decomposed granite soils and warm summers. Triple Crown is a semi-erect, thornless blackberry cultivar, known botanically as Rubus fruticosus 'Triple Crown', that ripens in mid to late summer. It is a self-fruitful, floricane-bearing variety that yields one crop per year, typically in July and early August. These growing areas span a range of climates suited to both wine grapes and cultivated berries.

Rapture is not made under a wine appellation system; it is a food vinegar produced in California rather than a wine bottled under a DOC, DOCG, or AOC. It is made from Zinfandel, a grape widely planted across California, alongside Triple Crown blackberries. The product is double fermented, first through an alcoholic fermentation of the grapes and then through acetic fermentation, and is bottled raw with the mother retained. It is diluted with water to 5% acidity and sweetened with organic cane sugar. The grapes are grown in Northern California and the vinegar is finished on a family farm on the Central Coast. Brightland works with small family farms across the state to source its ingredients.
