How I combat shipping wine in the Summer

As temperatures rise, I get more careful about shipping. Heat can ruin a bottle before it ever reaches your door. That’s my responsibility, not yours. If a bottle ever arrives heat-damaged, I’ll make it right.

To minimize risk:

- I only ship on Mondays, so wine doesn’t get stuck in hot warehouses over the weekend.

- I may delay shipments to hotter regions until the weather cools.

- I monitor temperatures across the country every week.

Most people don’t realize how fragile wine can be in the heat. Even short exposure to high temps can cook the wine and destroy its character. If you’ve ever opened a bottle and it tasted off or flat, that might’ve been the reason.

To help, I’m offering a new option:

- I already ship 6+ bottles free via Ground.

- Now I’ll also cover $30 toward expedited shipping on 6+ bottle orders and waive the packaging fee.

If you’re in a warmer part of the country or just want to guarantee freshness, this is the move. You’ll still get a deal on shipping, and we'll both sleep better knowing the wine will show up tasting like it should.
