Biofoam
We are pleased to offer Bioform packaging, consisting of a DuraTherm insert and ice packs. DuraTherm is 100% recyclable, if not recycled, formulated to break down more quickly in biologically active landfills than other polystyrene foam. The advanced EPS used in DuraTherm packaging biodegrades 92% over four years. This technology allows landfill microorganisms to break down the material into organic matter, water, and carbon dioxide, which can be safely and naturally assimilated into the environment.
Icepacks
Nordic Drain Safe gel packs. They are durable, reusable, and long-lasting poly gel packs. These packs offer the same performance as traditional gel packs with the added benefit of being 100% safe for disposal in a household drain. These are safely processed within municipal wastewater or home septic systems.
DTC Policies by federal law
- CA Specific – All wines are sold in California and title passes to the buyer in CA. We make no representation to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import wines into any state outside California. The buyer is solely responsible for shipment of wines. By placing an order, you authorize us to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order to you.
- Wines may be sold only to persons who are 21 years old. Verification is required. It is very important that there will be an adult (21 years or older) at the shipping address you provided to sign for the shipment as required by law. No shipments will be left without that signature.
- Customers are responsible for additional shipping costs on missed deliveries. We cannot ship to a US Postal Service Box.

Under California law, it is illegal to return wines once sold, except for defective wines, which may be returned for replacement within 30 days of purchase.
