Important Info & Returns

Before you order our wines online

Legal Drinking Age
It is an offence to buy or attempt to buy alcohol if you are under the age of 18. It is also an offence for any person to buy or attempt to buy alcohol on behalf of that person being under the age of 18.

La Sicilyana will not knowingly sell or deliver alcohol to any person under the age of 18 or who appears to be under the age of 18.

Challenge 25
La Sicilyana operate a challenge 25 scheme. If you are lucky enough to look under 25, our drivers and staff have been trained to ask for photographic ID. This can be in the form of either a drivers licence, Passport or a PASS card issued by the “Proof of age standards scheme”.

In the event no proof of age can be shown on delivery, the goods will be returned to us and an alternative delivery date will be rearranged. If on the second delivery attempt the recipient appears to be under the age of 18 or within the challenge 25 rule, where no ID can be provided, goods will be returned to us, after which a refund less any reasonable delivery and administration costs that have been incurred. Any balance will then be refunded back to your card that was used for payment at time of order.

Quality Control
If any wine is found to be corked through no fault of the recipient or indeed La Sicilyana, we will arrange for a full refund which will be individually assessed taking into account the room temperature, correct storage facilities, preferably in darkness and away from direct sunlight. If you believe a wine to be faulty, you must email us at laura@lasicilyanawines.co.uk enclosing your order number within the subject line . You will be liable for the safe return of the wine. We would suggest a tracking service to ensure safe receipt to ourselves. We will then arrange for the wine to be tested and ultimately, any refund given where appropriate. Your statutory rights are not affected.
