DELIVERY OF LOTS No complaints will be accepted for damage that may occur after the lots have been delivered, particularly during transport (broken bottles or liquid leaks). To avoid any issues during transport, it is advisable to arrange collection by a qualified service provider who will take the necessary precautions regarding handling and packaging during transport. SEAL INTEGRITY Antique bottles are stored lying down, which demonstrates their seal integrity prior to sale. However, please note that bottles must be placed upright during transport to prevent the liquid from coming into contact with the cork and thereby compromising the seal that was intact prior to sale. No disputes on this matter will be accepted. COLLECTION OF LOTS Collection of lots from the firm is by APPOINTMENT ONLY from 15 July 2026. No collection is possible during the sale. For those unable to collect lots themselves, an indicative list of partner carriers will be provided as an appendix to the purchase slip.
