Drinking great wine and spirits shouldn’t cost the Earth. As Britain's oldest continuous fine wine & spirits merchant, we believe it’s our duty to minimise our carbon footprint in whatever way we can, from vine to table.
It is our responsibility to find better solutions, whether that’s working with our winemakers to minimise their packaging or championing biodiversity. As a basic rule, our buyers only work with producers who make wines that are both ethical and environmentally responsible. We are proud to represent beacons of sustainable winemaking such as Felton Road in New Zealand, Frog’s Leap in Napa Valley and Château de Meursault – soon to be the largest certified organic estate in the Côte d’Or.
We are also proud supporters of charitable organisations such as Tusk Trust, whose valuable work in preventing habitat loss and supporting wildlife conservation through habitat restoration and reforestation is invaluable.
We champion producers who make wines ethically and sustainably and we feel it is only right that we work in equally environmentally-conscious ways. We have a sustainability programme manager whose sole responsibility is to co-ordinate and evolve this agenda.
The little things matter, too. For example, we don’t send any office waste to landfill, we use hybrid delivery vans in London and our packaging is fully recyclable and uses no plastics.
As part of Diageo, we are committed to driving a 10-year sustainability action plan, which will see us become a carbon neutral business by 2030.
Our enthusiasm for fine wine and whisky is anchored in our passion for the natural world, and it is our mission to convey this through the products and services that we offer.
Felton Road works in tandem with nature using organic treatments, manure and plant cover crops to ensure natural bio-diversity in the vineyards. Low yields are achieved through hand pruning and all picking takes place by hand. The result is pure, light touch, vibrant wines.
Frog's Leap's founder John Williams was a pioneer in so many ways, a full decade ahead of the curve when it came to organics and regenerative agriculture, a passionate believer in dry farming, and a great advocate for social equity for his vineyard workers.
A wonderful, historic Domaine that has the Côte de Beaune’s most impressive vaulted cellars. Along with sister estate, Château de Marsannay, this will soon be one of the biggest certified organic estates in the Côte d'Or. A new star of Burgundy is born.
Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
These wines are currently held with the Estate and Domaine’s we work with and will be shipped in due course.
These wines are in stock and are available for delivery at your convenience.
The following wines are either En Primeur or Ex-Chateau and currently abroad awaiting shipment to the UK. These wines are subject to final confirmation from the Justerini & Brooks team.
