Legal Ordering Age
We are naturally concerned about the misuse of alcohol. It is against the law to sell or supply alcohol to anyone under 18 years of age in the UK. By placing an order you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. We operate an age verification policy that may involve us using an external age verification company to ascertain that you are over 18 years of age. It is a condition of sale that you accept this policy and that you agree to us making the legal use of age verification systems and that we may do this without reference back to the customer.
We reserve the right to refuse a sale to anyone who we suspect is underage. The site requires you to confirm that you are 18 to view and order.
