Belmont Wine Exchange sells wine subject to the following terms and conditions. By placing an order with Belmont Wine Exchange, the buyer agrees to the following:

Shipping Terms - You must be 21 years of age to purchase alcoholic beverages. A street address is required for all shipments (we cannot ship to PO boxes).

Shipping Limitations – Under current law, we may not be able to ship to certain states.

Shipping Containers - Our system will calculate your shipping charges. We will email or call you with any shipping charge adjustments for your approval. There is no charge for Styrofoam shipping containers.

Notice - Title to all wine passes to the buyer in California. We make no representation to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import any wines into any state outside of California. The buyer is solely responsible for shipment of wines. By placing an order, you authorize us to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order to you. Alcoholic beverages may be sold and delivered only to persons who are at least 21 years old. In placing your order, you represent to us that you are at least 21 years old and the person to whom delivery will be made is at least 21 years old. When your wine is delivered, ID will be required.

Sales Tax - An 7.5% sales tax applies to all purchases shipped within California and delivered by common carrier.

Prices, Quantities, and Shipping Charges

  • Prices are subject to change without notice.
  • All listed prices do not include shipping, insurance charges, or sales tax (if applicable).

There may be errors/omissions in Belmont Wine Exchange’s listed prices. We reserve the right to adjust listed prices at our discretion, without prior notice. The listing of a price for any wine on this Web site is not an offer to sell that wine, but rather is a solicitation for an offer from you, the consumer, to purchase that particular wine. A contract regarding that particular wine is not formed until Belmont Wine Exchange accepts your offer to purchase same.

Quality Statement

Belmont Wine Exchange states that wine is in excellent condition, or the condition that is stated in its offer, at the time of delivery if it is shipped by the method recommended by Belmont Wine Exchange, and is accepted on the first delivery attempt. All bottles are hand inspected for condition before receipt into our warehouse.

If you receive a bottle of wine for which the condition is not excellent, or does not match the description at time of purchase, please notify us at sales@belmontwine.com within 15 days.

Belmont Wine Exchange cannot accept return of any bottle of wine that has been opened or altered, nor any bottle of wine that has been out of its possession for more than 6 months.

Excellent condition refers to the contents within the bottle, and is based on the age of the wine. Cosmetic imperfections, such as nicks or marks on the label or capsule, do not count against excellent condition.

All bottles are hand inspected for excellent condition before receipt into our warehouse. We at Belmont Wine Exchange endeavor to describe each bottle as accurately as possible to inform the customer of any possible factors that might affect its drinkability. However, please note that certain spoilage mechanisms are undetectable, as wine is a living product.

Photos of wines you are considering for purchase are available upon request.

We work hard to provide excellent service in all aspects of our operation. If you believe an error has occurred with your purchase, please contact us as soon as posslble at sales@belmontwine.com and we will attempt to rectify it or reach an amicable arrangement. Our maximum liability under any circumstances is limited to the purchase price of the wine.

Storage - All of our wines are stored at our state-of-the-art wine storage facility in Hayward, California. We are diligent in seeking out the provenance of older wines and will provide a description of the physical appearance of any bottle that is not normal for its age. However, Belmont Wine Exchange is interested in treating its customers fairly. Any issues that may arise with respect to the condition of wines sold by us will be dealt with on an individual basis.

Age Requirement - We sell only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, we will not sell to minors. By placing an order with Belmont Wine Exchange, whether on our website, over the phone or in person, you certify under penalty of perjury that you and the recipient are at least 21 years old. Belmont Wine Exchange may refuse our services (such as, but not limited to listings, chat, buying, and bidding) to anyone at any time, in our sole discretion.   Individuals must be at least 21 years of age if you reside in the United States or of legal drinking age in their country of residence.
