What do I do if the bottle arrives damaged?
We pack your wine bottles in certified wine cartons. Should a bottle arrive damaged, please send us a photo of the damaged bottle and contact us via our contact form or by email at info@vinoscout.de. We will arrange a replacement immediately.
What do I do if my wine tastes corked?

If the desired vintage is no longer available, we will normally contact you before shipping. However, should an error have occurred, please get in touch with us. We will find a suitable solution – be it an exchange or a credit note.
