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.

Producer profile

Domaine Brand

Philippe partnered with his father in 2006, injecting a new impetus into their company, which they renamed Domaine Brand & Fils. In 2015, a new direction was taken: as Philippe wanted to go further in their journey, he obtained Biodynamic Agriculture certification from the organization Demeter. He also took the opportunity to extend the range of Natural Wines.

Domaine Brand is situated in the heart of “La Couronne d'Or” (Strasbourg’s vineyard), in a village named Ergersheim. It is a familial estate since the 1950s, founded by Philippe’s grandfather. They have farmed organically since 2001 and the harvest 2015 will be certified Demeter. The vineyard is spread on 10 hectares with low yielding, split on three neighborhood commons, Ergersheim, Ostoffen, and Wolhxeim, all farmed entirely organic.

Philippe took over the domain in 2008, and brought a new life to the vinification practices from his experiences in Burgundy at Domaine de Montchovet, in Greece on Peloponnese Island, and in Australia in the Barossa Valley. Philippe decided to push further the organic farming to the Biodynamic, and straight away made a few wines without the addition of sulfur.

Since the vintage 2013, Philippe decided to launch a Natural range of Wine called “Apollinaire”, which is actually the emblem of the domain. All the labels of this range are made with Apollinaire Caligram. All these cuvée are made without entrant, the total average of So2 for this range is 20mg/l, and 50mg/l for the Cuvée Apollinaire.(source: Merchants of Thirst)

Wine region

,

Alsace stands as one of France's most distinctive wine regions, nestled in the northeastern corner of the country between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River. This picturesque area produces some of the world's most aromatic and food-friendly French wines, with a winemaking tradition that dates back to the Roman era. The region's unique position along the French-German border has shaped both its cultural identity and viticultural practices, creating wines that balance French elegance with German precision.

The Vosges Mountains create a crucial rain shadow effect that makes Alsace one of France's driest wine regions, providing ideal conditions for ripening grapes while maintaining natural acidity. This semi-continental climate, characterized by warm summers and cold winters, allows the region's signature grape varieties to develop remarkable aromatic complexity. Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat thrive in Alsace's diverse soils, which range from granite and sandstone to limestone and clay.

Alsace's wines are classified under three main appellations: Alsace AOC, Alsace Grand Cru AOC, and Crémant d'Alsace AOC. The Grand Cru designation includes 51 exceptional vineyard sites, such as Schlossberg, where producers like Christian Binner craft remarkable Rieslings that showcase the granitic terroir. These wines express intense minerality and concentration, representing the pinnacle of Alsatian winemaking.

The region has become a stronghold for natural and biodynamic viticulture, with pioneering producers practicing minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. Jean-Marc Dreyer exemplifies this approach with his skin-contact wines that undergo extended maceration, creating distinctive orange wines with remarkable depth. Similarly, Bruno Schueller continues his family's legacy with biodynamic farming that produces vibrant, mineral-driven wines.

Alsace's commitment to organic farming extends across multiple generations of family estates. Producers like Domaine Brand & Fils and Jean Ginglinger have achieved Demeter certification, adhering to strict biodynamic principles while crafting wines without filtration or added sulfites. The collaborative spirit of Alsatian winemakers manifests in projects like Les Vins Pirouettes, which unites independent growers dedicated to natural winemaking methods.

Alsace wines pair seamlessly with diverse cuisines, from Asian spices to rich charcuterie, making them versatile choices for wine enthusiasts seeking food-friendly bottles with authentic terroir expression.
