Age Verification / Sale of Alcohol
The sale of wine and other alcoholic beverages is restricted to persons of legal age (18 years and over).
We pay UPS to perform an age verification ("Adult Signature Only") upon delivery. This means:
- The delivery may only be handed over to a person aged 18 or over.
- Delivery without receipt by an adult is not possible. (no leaving at the door, no agreed drop-off locations, and no delivery to minors).
It is important that an adult is present at the time of delivery and can provide identification if required.
If delivery fails due to absence of an adult recipient or failed age verification, the shipment may be returned at the customer’s expense.
We promote responsible consumption of alcohol.

VAT and Excise Duty (DDP)
Our shipments to private customers in Finland are sent DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) and include Finnish VAT and excise duties.
This means that you do not have to declare the import to the Finnish tax authorities, which would otherwise be mandatory for private recipients receiving wine and sparkling wine from abroad based on online orders.
We are approved for distance selling of wine and sparkling wine to Finnish customers.
We report and pay:
- Finnish VAT via the OSS scheme, and
- Finnish excise duty to the Finnish tax authorities (Vero) under Business ID: 3572719-7
