Frequently asked questions
Vintages
The vintages shown on our website are those that our suppliers tell us they have in stock. A change of wine vintage is possible without communication. We advise the customer who wants a specific vintage to get in touch with us and send us a request. We will inform and confirm or not confirm the precise vintage for sale at the time of request.
Contestation of bottled wines by default
In case of a defect in the bottled wine, the customer is required to keep the defective bottle corked with the original cork, with all its contents (as far as possible. Ev. spilled glasses are to be put back in the bottle) and to contact Cantine-Shop immediately at info@cantine-shop.ch or at +4176/336.25.07. Cantine-Shop will contact the supplier with the customer for all appropriate arrangements. Cantine-Shop is in no way responsible for the development of the case and any decisions made by the supplier. According to the Swiss Wine Trade Association, defective bottles will be replaced only in the case of wine of any origin but bottled in Switzerland, and in any case within one year of purchase. Foreign wines bottled abroad will neither be replaced nor refunded. Notification of any defects or faults must be made within 8 days of collection or receipt of the goods.
Items on promotion or sale are not refunded.
