Send Champagne, Wine and Gifts to London from Milan
Milan is an hour ahead of London all year, and Italy and the UK change their clocks on the same dates. Our licensed dispatch unit in Battersea delivers across Greater London 24 hours a day, typically in 30–45 minutes, so a gift ordered over aperitivo can arrive the same evening.
Since Brexit, posting wine from Italy to the UK means customs forms and duty for the person receiving it. We dispatch in London with UK duty already paid, so the gift arrives without any of that.

Questions from Milan
Why not post a bottle from Italy?
Alcohol sent from the EU to the UK is liable to UK duty and VAT, and the recipient is often asked to pay before it is handed over. Our stock is already in London with UK duty paid.
Is the stock genuine?
Yes. Everything is bought from UK wholesalers approved under HMRC's Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme, with UK duty paid. See
authenticity and sourcing.
Who can accept the delivery?
Someone aged 18 or over. We check age on every alcohol delivery, and under our
Challenge 25 policy anyone who looks under 25 will be asked for photo ID.
Do you deliver outside London?
Yes, across mainland UK, with express (1–2 business days) and standard (3–5 business days) options shown at checkout.
