Great variety, the delivery arrived really quick as well! Perfect to make a 12 days of Christmas wine advent calendar.

Fast delivery

Fast delivery, offered choice to change bottles that were on back order to available bottles, or wait until bottles arrived.
Good selection and easy online ordering.

I made a mistake with my delivery …

I made a mistake with my delivery address resulting in the wine being returned to sender. Half Bottles have resent the wine to the correct address without hesitation or additional cost. Great service.

Where is my dozen?

Nice man called to say they couldn't readily get in the wine I asked for. He offered a substitute and I selected a slightly more expensive one. I offered to pay the difference so that he wasn't out of pocket. He said it would be ok and that he would absorb the cost. The delivery turned up one bottle short. I thought he was absorbing the cost and not the bottle.

Reply from Half Bottles

Hi Adam - our records indicate that the 3 bottles replaced 4 bottles and the value totalled of each type was exactly equal, hence the missing bottle - so short a bottle but not in $$$ - apologies if this wasn't explained clearly as an option when discussing the swap. I believe that Matt our manager has already given you a bell to clear things up, please let me know if there is anything else that I can help with. I hope you are enjoying the wines. Dan (boss man)

Great product prompt delivery

Great product prompt delivery. If you find like me and my fiancee that you never get through a full bottle of wine quick enough before it goes vinegary, spend the same amount of money on a half bottle but get better quality wine and don't waste any!

Good range. Good service. Pity about the freight charge.

It was a pleasure to find a supplier that specialises in half bottles.
I drink red and my wife drinks white.
I am weak and once a bottle is open I'll finish it. My new weight loss strategy is to try bottles that hold less wine. But it has to be good wine :-)
I found prices to be reasonable but I wasn't happy with the freight charge.
My initial order was over $1000 but when I found out the shipping charge, I aborted.
A week later I came back and ordered $500 worth and begrudgingly accepted the freight. But I am still looking for more cost effective alternatives.

Really good service. Called straight away when one of the products was delayed and offered a replacement.

High praise to Half Bottles

High praise to Half Bottles!
We are new customers having found Half Bottles on Line. The quality and choice of wines; the telephone and email personal service and pleasant manner; the accountability for the order and offer of alternatives - were all exceptional. 5 stars!
