If you'd like to browse a certain type of wine the easiest way to do this by using the Category search fields. 
You can search by variety, country, type or price and the results can be refined each time you select a category option so you can drill right down to find the products you're after. You don't need to select all the categories, just select one to see your results and you can then select further options to refine your search.

If you do want to view all our wines in a category just hit the 'Show All' on the search page. You can sort the wines by position, name and price. You can also view them as a list or grid.

Not if you don't want to, you can choose to checkout as a guest. However creating an account allows us to recognise you when you return, store your order information and simplify the buying process for you. 

Our case rates give you extra savings when you buy a full case of wine.

Most wines are packed in 12-bottle cases, but many are also available in 6-bottle cases. The case size is shown on each product page, along with the discounted case price.

If a wine is packed in a 6-bottle case, you'll see a note such as "Case rate is for 6 bottles." Otherwise, the case rate applies to a standard 12-bottle case.

Buying by the case is a great way to stock up and get the best value.

Yes. The case price is per bottle for a 12 bottle mixed case of any product. 

No. There is no minimum order. You may order one bottle or product if you wish.

Please note: Shipping charges are calculated per case, with up to 12 bottles per case. As a result, shipping costs for a single bottle are the same as for a full 12-bottle case.

You sure can. Make sure you're logged in and click the Account button and then click the Orders button to reorder from a past order. If you are viewing a past order and the price has changed the current price for that product will be displayed, and you will be charged at the current price. If the product is no longer available it will be marked as discontinued. If you would like a copy of a previous invoice please email us at info@advintage.co.nz 

We send you an automated email confirming your order as soon as your order is received. 

Our Wine Subscription service allows you to have mixed wine cases of your preference delivered to your door at the frequency of your choice. Totally customisable.

Just select the plan, price and frequency you'd like and we'll take over the rest.

Alternatively, give us a call on 0800 111 660 and we can help set this up for you. We have hundreds and hundreds of satisfied clients who buy wine from us this way now.
