FINE+RARE offers unparalleled access to the world's finest wines and spirits. We manage the sourcing and logistics so you can simply buy from us. Some products are available for immediate delivery from our own stock, and some are sourced through our network of producers and merchants. We’ll always let you know the expected delivery window when you place your order.

Most of our list is available through our global network of producers and merchants. Items sourced on demand in this way have a lead-time of 10-12 weeks, as we consolidate imports, condition-check products and handle delivery logistics so that you don’t have to.
Often lead-times are considerably shorter and we’ll always let you know when you can expect your goods before you make a purchase. If you need a particular order quickly, contact us and we’ll do everything we can to help.
Other products – those in our warehouse – are available for immediate delivery, and will be shipped on payment.
