Send Prestige Champagne and Gifts to London from Geneva and Zurich
Switzerland is an hour ahead of London all year, and both countries change their clocks on the same dates. That makes timing easy: whatever you see on your watch, London is one hour behind. Our licensed dispatch unit in Battersea delivers across Greater London 24 hours a day, typically in 30–45 minutes, to homes, hotels and offices.
Sending a fine bottle from Switzerland to the UK means export paperwork, duty and days in transit. Ordering from us avoids all of that: the gift is dispatched in London with UK duty already paid, so nothing crosses a border.

Questions from Switzerland
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.
Can I send to a London hotel?
Yes. Give the guest's full name and the hotel address, and note that the delivery is for a guest. Hotels usually receive it at reception or the concierge desk.
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.
