Buy Wines Online

Buy Wines Online (BuyWinesOnline.com) is a US online wine store whose business address is in Lakemoor, Illinois. Its About page says the people behind it have spent more than 25 years in direct-to-consumer wine shipping and that the company handles its own warehousing and order fulfillment, keeping every bottle in temperature-controlled storage.

What Buy Wines Online sells

• Red wines by grape, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Malbec next to rarer picks such as Xinomavro and Tannat
• White wines from Chardonnay and Riesling to Albariño and Assyrtiko, plus rosé, Champagne and other sparkling wines
• Dessert wines, sherry, port and a kosher range
• Multi-bottle tasting sets, wine gift boxes and a holiday advent calendar of small bottles
• Collections grouped by critics' scores of 90, 94 and 100 points, and by region, with a Napa Valley Cabernet section

The range covers California, Oregon and Washington alongside France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, New Zealand and smaller producing countries such as Greece and Lebanon. Legally, each order is sold and shipped by a licensed retailer or winery, and title passes to the buyer when the wine ships.

Delivery and returns

Buy Wines Online delivers only within the United States, and not to Alabama, Michigan, Mississippi, Utah, Hawaii or Alaska. Most orders leave within 1 to 2 business days by FedEx or UPS, then take 1 to 3 business days to reach Midwest states, 2 to 4 to the East Coast and 4 to 6 to the West Coast. Shipping is priced at checkout from the address and the number of bottles, and the per-bottle cost falls as the order grows. Someone aged 21 or over must sign for each parcel, PO boxes are refused, and buyers can pick a FedEx or UPS hold location instead. Express orders placed after 12 p.m. Central time ship the next business day.

To return wine, customers email the store within 30 days of purchase; it then arranges a pickup and refunds the returned items once they arrive, though return and restocking fees can apply. Bottles damaged in transit are replaced. Shipping charges are never refunded, including on parcels refused or sent back after three failed delivery attempts.
