Useful Information

VAT

All of the wine that we list is priced ex VAT. Wine delivered to the UK outside a bonded warehouse will be subject to VAT, which is currently at 20%.

Duty

All wine bought in the UK is subject to UK Excise Duty. The current rates of duty, per 9 litre cases are as follows:

Still wine exceeding 5.5% but less than 15% = £21.71

Still wine exceeding 15% but less than 22% = £28.94

Sparkling wine exceeding 8.5% but less than 15% = £27.81

Please note that duty is also subject to VAT.

Tax and Export

If customers would like to have wine exported outside of the EC, neither VAT nor duty are payable. If shipping within the EC, all local UK taxes are payable.

In Bond Stock

The vast majority of wine listed on this website is 'in bond'. In bond stock must be kept in a customs approved warehouse such as with BI Client reserves at Vinotheque in Burton on Trent. While wine is held in bond it can be traded without incurring tax or duty. Should you wish to have this wine removed from bond and delivered, duty and VAT will become payable.

Bordeaux Index can arrange for your wine to be stored under bond. Please see here for further details of Bordeaux Index Private Reserves.

Duty Paid Stock

We also stock wine that is duty paid. In such instances, the wine's price includes duty but not VAT. It is not possible to return duty paid wine to its in bond status.
