Important Information!
Our inventories are extensive, but not all wines are available for shipment in all states. Prime Wine reserves the right to substitute comparable wine if necessary to complete an order.

PrimeWine charges one flat fee of $9.85 for all shipments regardless of quantity or destination. "Undelivered" orders still require this fee even if they are canceled at a later date. If these orders require shipping again, another $9.85 will be charged to the same credit card as the initial order.

The buyer is solely responsible for shipment of wine. By placing an order, you authorize us to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order to your selected destination.

Wine may be sold 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. When your wine is delivered to you, you will be required to show identification proving that you are at least 21 years old.

Some states do not allow consumers to purchase alcohol from outside of their state. Prime Wine markets only in those states that allow consumers to purchase wine for their own personal use.

Taste Definitions:
Taste:

DRY: Technically speaking, a "dry" wine is one in which there is no perceptible taste of sweetness (most wine tasters begin to perceive sugar at levels of 0.5 % to 0.7 %). However, a well made wine can have sweet aromas, but still taste "dry." In a Red Wine, "dry" generally reflects the influence of tannin, which can leave one with a slight "pucker" and sensation of dryness on the tongue after tasting. Most of the "classic" or traditional Red Wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bordeaux, Burgundy) are dry wines. For White Wines, "dry" is a more difficult taste to describe, but many of the most popular white wines (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio) are dry wines - again containing no residual sugar.

SEMI-DRY / SEMI-FRUITY: Sometimes known as "off dry" or "blush" wines. Refers primarily to wines with just a touch of sweetness. Both Reds and Whites often have more of a flowery, fruity aroma, and they have a tendency to be lighter-drinking than a "dry" wine. As the name suggests, these are wines that have a level of residual sugar which gives them a sweeter or "fruity" taste, without being absolutely sweet like a Dessert wine, for example.

FRUITY: The term "fruity" is used to describe wines with a high sugar content. In technical terms, it refers to one of the four basic tastes detected by the sensory nerves of the human tongue. Characteristics are generally deeply concentrated flavors, sugar and acidity which together provide a good balance. There are various kinds of fruity wines. They range from some of the world's most famous "dessert" wines from Sauternes (Château d'Yquem), Germany and Tokay to the sweet "ethnic" wines that have been in common use for generations.
