Taking it personally…
At Alliance we believe in people. Be it our customers that we
build strong relationships with or our family of winemakers
from all over the world that bring our portfolio to life.
The wine trade is about people and we forget that at our peril.
We are a local wine merchant selling to the local community.
We are still based in Glasgow and have not forgotten our roots.
Though we now sell far and wide we are still involved in local
markets throughout the country, and also around the world.
Being local isn’t necessarily about where you are from, but how
you act and appreciating the people you meet. This is the reason
why we set up our Green Principals program last year. We want to
celebrate those producers who not only make great wine, but value
their people and value the land that they work.
So with all this talk of people, we would like to introduce our new
producers and their wines for you to discover this year. There
will be wines to excite and tempt you, and stories to educate
and entertain you. There are also some honest insights from our
buyers, the people who found these wines.
If that is not enough, then head to our website where you can find
full information on all of our wines. Just type in the product code of
the wine to discover all you need to know.
We think 2016 is going to be an exciting year and we look forward
to sharing it with the people that matter: you.

There is more to us than just a sales team and we thought it was time you were
introduced to some of them.
A who’s who
Our buyers and MWs are vital to what we do, but often act behind the scenes, away
in foreign lands, discovering the next big thing and hunting down that elusive parcel.
So here is a chance to get to know them a little better and see what makes them tick.
Garech joined Alliance Wine in 2006, and with the
vaulting ambition of a young Macbeth, he quickly
rose through the ranks. As surely as cream, amongst
other things, floats to the top, Garech recently
became the “Brown Owl” of the buying team with
responsibility for Italy, South Africa, Australia, New
Zealand, Hungary and any other country in which
he fancies a holiday. Fluent in Italian, Garech learned
the canals of Venice.
Despite the glamour of the job, and as many free
Cornettos as he could eat, Garech knew that wine
was his passion and on his return to the UK he
dedicated himself to the wine trade. Garech’s talent
for spotting a great wine at a great price is world
renowned and frankly, we are lucky to have him.

Liz joined Alliance Wine some 19 years ago at the
tender age of 11. For the last 6 years or more she has
been wandering the vineyards of France, USA, Chile
and Argentina seeking out those amazing, food friendly
wines that have come to be her signature.
The “arguably-too-old-to-be ‘Enfant Terrible” of the
buying team, Liz speaks fluent French and passable
Spanish, allowing her to mingle with the locals virtually
Liz Donnelly
everywhere she goes. Sniffing out these vinous jewels
is no easy task and Liz attributes her success to her
very keen sense of smell: “From the minute I set foot in
someone’s house I can tell if they keep a goldfish” boasts
Liz, confidently and frequently.
Pablo is about as Spanish as an 18-30 rep in Magaluf.
However, he is a wee bit more classy, cultured and fun.
For many, many years Pablo ran his own company,
‘Rhone to Rioja’ and it was sheer magnetism that
drew him closer and closer to Alliance Wine until
recently his Spanish portfolio and Paul, himself,
Pablo’s passion for Spanish wine and food radiates from
him and there is officially no one who knows more about
Spain than ‘oor Pablo’.
The new, exciting wines that Paul has brought to Alliance
are a testament to his expertise and enthusiasm. Pablo
dances Flamenco at the highest level, but sadly only
takes to the stage biannually these days.

Since staggering over the Giant’s Causeway to the UK
some 16 years ago, Fergal has been drinking his way to
Fergal Tynan MW
success! He is now also the captain of the ship at Alliance
Wine.
Underneath Fergal’s affable exterior lies a sharp business
brain and the obsessive attention to detail that is
necessary to keep Alliance sailing smoothly.
Now based in the cool climate of Scotland, Fergal still likes
to travel to warmer climes to ensure that he has his finger
on the pulse of the wine producing world.
“Gilo”, as he is affectionately known, loves his pig
legs and you may have spotted him at the Alliance
tastings merrily carving up the jamon. Underneath
his serious, straight laced exterior, Giles is
in the disco bars of Düsseldorf during Prowein.
He claims to need just “fumfteen” minutes sleep after
a marathon session to be back on top form for his
next meeting.
As our other resident M.W., Giles heads up our
winemaking projects in Australia. Between his
Antipodean travels and his two young daughters
running rings round him, Giles doesn’t know if it’s
New York or New Year most of the time, so he likes
to go fishing for salmon and trout to get some peace
and quiet.

Giles Cooke MW
something of an animal - podium dancing till dawn
We believe that the inescapable context for all decisions about
wine production and selling wine has to be whether the activity is
rational, fair & caring. Making the best wine possible with the least
intervention is only the start, be that organic, biodynamic or natural.
It is not only about the environment. It is about ensuring beneficial
relationships for all involved, giving due consideration to people and working
with an innate sense of integrity. Fundamentally the wine business is about
people: we pride ourselves on working with producers and customers who
really value their people. At Alliance, many of our producers share these
values. We call them our Green Principals, working with us to build a Better
World of Wine.

NEW WINES
Throughout the year, the buyers never stop
searching or looking for new opportunities.
They have had a bumper year and we
thought that we should highlight them here
to give them the respect they deserve.
Adegas Pazo do Mar, DO
Monterrei, Spain
Over 30 years the family’s hard work, while
respecting age old Ribeiro winemaking
traditions, but retaining a fresh spirit and
vision have created delicately flavoured
wines of unbeatable quality.
A diverse mix of great regions and styles
that should excite and surprise you.
Quintas do Homem
Vinho Verde, Portugal
Domaine Loustale
Jurancon, France
Founded in 1949 at the foot
of the Pyrenees, the winery
has become, over time, a
distinguished landmark
in Béarn and asserts a
responsible and forward
thinking approach to
viticulture. Their meticulous
efforts, including harvesting
by hand, shines through in
the wine.
A booming family business
with two small vineyard areas
focusing on local varietals aims
to create wines that are full of
vibrancy and life. Just what you
want to start the evening.
Venturini Baldini
Emilia Romagna
Italy
Positioned on the foothills of Emilia, the farm
has been certified organic since 1985.
All harvesting is done by hand and collected
in small baskets. It’s a great story to tell and
when you try the wines you will want to tell
it too.
Albourne Estate
Sussex, England
This new boutique producer of
exciting and distinctive single
estate wines is located on the
edge of the South Downs in
Sussex. We are almost giddy to
have these wines in our range as
we think their potential is huge.
Félicette
Southern France
1963 witnessed France
entering the feline space
race via a cat named
Félicette. Now immortalised
on a wine that pays homage
to those that think outside
the box, Félicette is for all
those who dream to be a
little different.
10
Casa Marin
San Antonio, Chile
Casa Marin is a boutique,
family run winery established
in 2000, founded by the
formidable María Luz Marín,
who fought to create this
innovative winery to express
the land and its terroir. She
has succeeded and her wines
are now highly regarded
throughout the world.
Mora & Memo
Sardinia
This beautiful estate sits high in the
hills in the South East of Sardinia
just a few kilometres from the sea.
Focusing on indigenous Sardinian
varieties (Cannonau & Vermentino)
they create elegant, vibrant
mineral wines - very different
from the rustic Sardinian norm!
Famille Morin
Languedoc, France
The estate has existed since
1330. Originally owned by
the Order of the Holy Spirit
nowadays it is Caroline Morin,
the dynamic young winemaker,
who tries to express the
fabulous terroir through wines
of great finesse and minerality.
Still a spiritual experience.
The Drift Farm
Overberg Highlands
South Africa
Driven by a desire to make truly individual
wines, Bruce Jack has set out to assiduously
craft them using only the grapes grown on the
farm. He has ensured superb quality wines
with exceptional character.
Guillaume Gonnet
Southern Rhône France
Bodegas y Viñedos
Tinedo
La Mancha, Spain
We are proud to have secured
Guillaume’s range of wines
which puts minimal intervention
and organic principals at their
heart. He has grand plans for
the future and his current range
stretches across the Southern
Rhône including Cote de
Rhone, Cairanne, Tavel, Lirac &
Chateauneuf du Pape.
Tinedo is the AlvarezArenas’ family estate in
La Mancha. The family
are now renovating the
19th century heart of
the winery bringing it
into the present day,
creating wines with
history, but a wonderful
modern touch.
Domaine Sainte Irénée
Languedoc, France
More than 2000 years ago vineyards were
established by the Romans who had already
guessed at the outstanding terroir of this
area. Marquis de Roux realized this in 1942
when he bought the estate to revitalise the
Domaine.
11
CHAMPAGNE
& SPARKLING
I used to advocate that there is so much more to
sparkling wine than Champagne, now I seem to
be arguing that there is more to sparkling wine than
Prosecco. It’s true that this most democratic of sparkling
wines is still going strong. Sales growth that a FTSE 100
company could only wish for, and without any loss of quality
and flavour profile in the wines too (check out our selection
from Mabis if you have any doubt). Yet there is so much more
out there. Is there a ‘Cava Comeback’ about to happen? If you try
Sumarroca’s Pinot Noir Rosé, you might have to agree.
Argentina
Domaine Baumard’s wonderful pair of Cremant de Loire wines
confirms beyond doubt that there is life beyond Valdobbiadene.
3
So, I would say the future is bright and full of choice.

A policy of minimum intervention is practiced in the vineyards. The rows are grassed
over to protect the soil. Sexual confusion techniques reduce the need for chemical
treatments to be used. The winery has recently invested in new stainless steel tanks with
positive charged walls which allows them to be cleaned much more energy efficiently.

Burgundy has Pinot Noir, Scotland has Irn Bru and
Argentina has Malbec! But it is no longer just about the
grape, like all great wine regions, it is now a question of
defining the great “terroirs” and making wines that really
express them.

Australia may be the largest wine importer to the UK, but look beyond
that statistic and there are a myriad of sub-regions, unexpected varieties
and great value wines to be had.
From the iconic offerings of Domaine A and Thousand Candles to the
fresh style of Thistledown in the Adelaide Hills and the quirkiness
of Suckfizzle from Stella Bella, there is quality and difference to be
experienced everywhere.

following Melbourne’s lead and the wines are there to match. This isn’t
homogenous, this is hip, different and all the better for it. I wish it was
closer for weekend visits.

BULGARIA
Fascinating fact of the day: If a Bulgarian shakes his
head at you, he means yes, not no. A confusing start to
any journey through Bulgaria. It’s almost as confusing to
fathom Bulgaria’s history with the grape.
Vineyards have been planted for thousands of years in
this vinous stronghold. Through the 20th century with
the rise and fall of communism, it has been a fitful time
for the wine industry. With fresh shoots now appearing,
the potential quality is being rediscovered and realised
with Enira leading the way.

A cliché it may be, but Chile is one of the most exciting
and interesting wine producing countries right now.
Exploring its differing terroirs and new coastal plantings,
it is clear that they are offering truly cool wines – in
every sense.
CHILE
Its most progressive wineries, like the boutique Casa Marin
which is new to us this year, prove that Chile is capable of
producing the very finest wines, with a real sense of place.
At Alliance we want to shout about these attitudes and aspects
and show you the exciting side of Chile. Our own production
project, the Espinos y Cardos wines, have undergone a facelift
to ensure that the packaging matches the quality of the wine.
We are also very proud to introduce a new tier within that
range: our single site Pinot Noir from Santa Macarena which is
just 5 kilometres from the coast.
Odfjell wines continue to deliver fantastic quality and their
Carignan Orzada is an excellent example of the old vines that
are so important to Chile’s wine heritage and future. Whichever
way you turn in Chile there are wines that are truly world class.

Domaine Picard
Full of fairytale castles and troll-like grottos, the

Half of the Domaine has a grass cover, particularly on the steeper slopes, as
this helps limit erosion of the soil. They also plough the soils, de-compacting
the top soils, which helps to develop micro-bacterial life.
Loire could have easily popped out of Walt Disney’s
imagination, but even he could not have conjured up
some of the fantastic producers that dot our

Domaine Baumard, with their almost magic touch
with Chenin Blanc, has created some truly remarkable
Savenierres across the years. My recommendation?
Try the vintages side by side, they are a thing of wonder
and it’s a joy to marvel at their individuality.
Domaine Crochet’s array of wines from Sancerre shows off
without question the talent of this estate and the special
nature of this river-land. If you can try them with a slice or
two of local chevre then the experience will be sublime.

In this most traditional of wine regions, the perennial challenge of
“Right Bank or Left Bank?” echoes from its drinkers: What was the vintage like?
Was there rain at harvest? Is en primeur season over?
Every minutiae is picked over and dissected to distraction. It is true that you need to understand
this area to get the best value for money, but you don’t need to pay over the odds. We have scoured
the communes and ransacked the restaurants (have you tried their canelés?) to bring you what we
think are the best examples of Bordeaux without taking out a second mortgage.

LANGUEDOC & SOUTH WEST
The land of holidays & yachts. The South of France has many reasons to entice you to go there, and the sheer variety
of wine can be overwhelming. It is hard to know where to start as you wind your way through the landscape with new
discoveries of food and wine appearing through the heat haze.
It is such an exciting place to be, so we had to get involved and roll our sleeves up. From our own take on Provence rosé,
La Vie en Rose, to our space bound cats from Felicette, there is something for everyone from a land that welcomes you
for your two week holiday, and might never let you leave.

GERMANY
Similar to its widely planted grape varietal,
Riesling, Germany has suffered in recent
years from being the bridesmaid of the
wine trade, never the bride. Overlooked and
Berlin
underrated German wine deserves its time
in the sun again. Producing some of the best
examples of Riesling anywhere in the world,
it is definitely time to re-engage with this

country and its champion grape. What have

NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is famous for many things: green lipped
mussels, Crowded House, Russell Crowe (yes he is a
kiwi) and playing a bit of rugby.
The point I am trying to flippantly make is that there is a lot
more to NZ than Sauvignon Blanc. Not to dismiss this unique,
world class variation on the white wonder grape, but there is
more out there to discover. Take Mount Edward for example.
Here Pinot Noir, amongst other things, is grown in the most
marginal of climates, far south in Central Otago. It is most
definitely done for love and is all the better for it. You have
to be slightly mad to even consider growing grapes in this
environment. For that reason alone you must explore their
range, just to see what great wines can be nurtured with a bit
of madness and a lot of proper kiwi stubbornness.

They take a holistic approach to viticulture which is close
to biodynamics. Their hand sorting of grapes further
restricts the need for winemaking intervention. They only

Quintas do Homem

Using the system defined
by the IBOC to produce high
quality wines from sustainable
principles, using natural
resources such as organic and
biodynamic fertilisers.
Portugal is a country brimming over with rocks and stones.

Vinho Verde
The distinctive character these soils can impart to the wines is
indigenous grape varieties in the world, we have a country full of
beguiling, sometimes charming, sometimes challenging wines.
The producers we work with demonstrate this perfectly – Dao from Julia
Kemper is all organic and fiercely individual. Expressing the finesse that a
Lisbon
skilled and committed winemaker can extract from these untamed soils.
Delaforce have their range of classic ports, but also their not-so-classic wines.
Alvarinho grown on cool vineyards at the top of the Douro, for example.
Quintas do Homem who produce delightful fragrant, jolly Vinho Verde and then
something more serious with Loureiro and not to forget their challenging red
Vinho Verde Vinhao. Spritz, fierce acidity and unfiltered rawness.

SOUTH AFRICA
Apparently Table Mountain, near Cape Town, is one of
the oldest mountains in the world. I didn’t realise you
can age a mountain and certainly don’t know how to.
Do you count its rings?
What is clear is the quality of wine that is coming from
South Africa. We are proud to have added The Drift Farm to
our portfolio this year. This family farm owned by Bruce Jack,
up in the Overberg Highlands, produces vegetables & fruit, as
well as incredible cool climate wine. Alongside Iona and Raats
Family Wines the future of premium South Africa seems to be
in safe hands.

The West Coast harbours some amazing sites and sights. The ruggedness of Mount Hood, the orange scented air of
Central Valley, the Monterey of Steinbeck are all as wondrous as any vinous experience you care to have. That is not to
make light of Paul Hobbs’ reputation, who we are very proud to count as one of our producers and long standing friends.
He is a shining light of how great Californian winemaking can be. Up and coming areas such as Paso Robles, where Eberle are based,
highlight the opportunities on offer and that it is not only Oregon and Washington that deserve our attention from the new wave.

terms & conditions
IMPORTANT: These Terms of Sale are considered by us to set out the whole agreement between you
and us for the sale of the wine. Please ensure that you read and understand these Terms of Sale before
you submit an order, because you will be bound by these Terms of Sale once a contract comes into
existence between you and us (no previous written or oral agreements will apply to that contract).
1. PLACING YOUR ORDER
1.1 Making & accepting orders: You can place orders for wine by telephone, email, fax, via our website or directly with our
sales representatives. Your order is deemed to be an offer by you to enter into a legally binding contract with us. We are free
to accept or decline your offer at our absolute discretion. These Terms of Sale shall form a binding contract between you
and us only when we either issue you with express written or verbal acceptance of your order or we deliver the wine (or
make the wine available for collection, where applicable), whichever is the earlier, at which point a contract shall come into
existence between you and us (our receipt of payment does not constitute our acceptance). Contracts can be concluded in
the English language only.
1.2 Minimum order quantity: Unless otherwise expressly agreed by us, we will not accept orders for less than 3 cases
containing 9 litres of wine in each case. Where we accept orders for less than this quantity, a delivery surcharge is payable
by you, as detailed in clause 2.2.
4.3 Returning defective products: In the unlikely event that our wine does not conform to the quality standards
above, is otherwise defective or is not what you ordered, please let us know promptly after delivery. If you notice
a mistake made by us after you have received the wine, we would appreciate it if you would please notify us
within 48 hours. You must make any rejected wine available for collection by our courier if we request and take
reasonable care of it pending collection. We will promptly refund any payment made by you for defective or
incorrect wine that we have supplied. If, however, you reject wine which is not defective or incorrect (and you are
not otherwise entitled to cancel your order), we reserve the right to charge you the direct cost to us of collecting,
testing, storing and redelivering the rejected wine.
4.4 Errors made by us: We try to ensure that our descriptions and prices are accurate. If, prior to delivery to you,
we discover an error in relation to the wine you have ordered, we will contact you as soon as possible to give you
the option of either confirming your order subject to correction of the error or cancelling your order (and receiving
a full refund of any prepayments you have made). If we are not reasonably able to ascertain your preference, your
order will be treated as cancelled.
4.5 Correcting your mistakes: If you want to correct any mistakes you made in your order, you must inform us
by telephone or by email prior to both your order being accepted and the wine being delivered. If you inform us
of your mistake after your order is accepted or after the wine is delivered, we may, at our sole discretion, agree to
amend your order (but we reserve the right to charge you for recovering the wine from you and for delivery of its
replacement to you, where applicable).
1.3 Availability of wine: All of the wine we offer is subject to availability from our suppliers. We will try to contact you
promptly if we are unable to supply the wine that you have ordered and we will give you the option of either varying or
cancelling your order.
5. LIABILITY DISCLAIMER
1.4 Age restriction: It is illegal for us to sell wine to anyone who is, or appears to be under the age of 18 years. By placing an
order, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age: we reserve the right to cancel the contract between you and us if we
or our couriers are unsure of whether you are at least 18 years old.
5.1 Extent of this disclaimer: Nothing in these Terms of Sale shall in any way limit our liability for death or
personal injury caused by our negligence; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or for any other matter for
which it would be illegal or unlawful for us to exclude or attempt to exclude our liability.
1.5 Cancellation: If you are a consumer, you can cancel your order for any reason up to 7 working days from the date of
delivery of the wine, provided that all of the bottles are unopened and intact. We will refund the full price you have paid
to us for that order within 30 days from the date of cancellation. Any wine delivered must be made available for our
collection and we reserve the right to charge the cost to us of recovering the wine. If you are not a consumer, we might, at
our sole discretion, still permit you to cancel your order if we decide that this will not adversely affect us: please contact us
promptly if you wish to cancel.
5.2 Liability restriction: If you or we do not comply with these Terms of Sale, neither you nor we shall be
responsible for any loss of income or revenue, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, any waste of time nor
other losses that the other suffers as a result which are not a foreseeable consequence of the failure to comply with
these Terms of Sale.
2. PRICES AND PAYMENT
2.1 Our prices: The price payable by you for our wine will be, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the price set out in
our price list published at the time the wine is ordered. We may alter our prices at any time prior to delivery to account
for factors such as VAT, excise duty, market and currency fluctuations and in such cases we shall endeavour to contact
you promptly and give you the option of either paying the revised price or cancelling your order. Our prices are quoted
exclusive of Value Added Tax and VAT will be charged where applicable at the prevailing rate (unless exempt from VAT or in
the case of a sale transaction under bond where zero vat rate applies).
2.2 Other charges: Duty and the cost of delivery to either mainland Great Britain or mainland Northern Ireland are
included in the prices we quote, unless otherwise stated. If we accept an order from you for less than 3 cases of wine
to be delivered to an address in mainland Great Britain or mainland Northern Ireland, an additional delivery surcharge
of £9.00 plus VAT will be imposed. If you require delivery be made to a destination which is not in mainland Great Britain
or mainland Northern Ireland, please contact our customer service department.
2.3 Currency: You must make payment to us in the same currency as the price quoted by us at the time you placed your
order. We reserve the right to make any refunds in the currency you used to make payment to us.
2.4 Making payment: Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, payment for all wine must be made in advance in cleared
funds (without any deduction by way of set-off or counterclaim). We accept payment by all major credit cards except
American Express. We also accept payment by cheque payable to “Alliance Wine Company Limited”, by Direct Debit or by
bank transfer (our bank details are available on request). Payment can be made in cash directly to our local representatives:
please don’t send cash by post.
2.5 Late payment: Where we agree that payment may be made in arrears but you fail to make the payment due to us in
full by the due date for payment, we reserve the right to charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per
year above the base lending rate of the Bank of Scotland from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from
the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us
interest together with the overdue amount. Without limiting any other remedies or rights that we may have, if you do not
pay us on time, we may cancel or suspend any outstanding order until you have paid all outstanding amounts.
We reserve the right to withdraw any credit facility provided and all monies will become due and payable with immediate effect.
2.6 Transfer of ownership: Ownership of the wine will only pass to you when we receive payment in full of all sums due
for the wine, including delivery charges, where applicable. You may however resell the wine in the ordinary course of your
business after we have delivered it to you (but you must not deal with the wine in any other way, nor may you permit any
lien, charge or encumbrance to be created over the wine, until, in any such case, payment has been made to us in full). If
you fail to make payment to us in full within 30 days of the due date for payment or if the contract between you and us is
cancelled or otherwise terminated for any reason prior to payment being made to us, you agree that, without limiting any
other remedies or rights that we may have, we (and our agents) shall be entitled to enter any premises where you store wine
to ascertain whether any of the wine we own is stored there and to inspect, count and recover that wine.
2.7 Return of Goods: Return of goods is solely at company discretion and must be agreed prior to return. Any transportation cost for
returned goods will be your responsibility unless otherwise agreed.
3. DELIVERY
3.1 Date for delivery: We will try to deliver the wine you have ordered promptly (or otherwise as agreed by our customer
service department at the time you place your order): however, any delivery dates we provide are estimates only. If we
cannot supply the wine you have ordered (where applicable, by making it available in accordance with any Incoterms
we have used, as explained in clause 3.3) within 30 days of receiving your order (or by any alternative date we have
agreed with you), we will contact you as soon as possible to give you the option of either accepting a later delivery date or
cancelling your order. If we are not reasonably able to ascertain your preference, your order will be treated as cancelled.
3.2 Delivery location & risk: Unless otherwise stated by us, deliveries will only be made to addresses in mainland Great
Britain or mainland Northern Ireland and all risks to the wine will be your responsibility from the time of delivery. This
does not apply where we incorporate Incoterms, as explained below.
3.3 Our use of Incoterms: Where stated in our price list (or in contract terms agreed by us), our wine will be supplied:
•
•
•
•
Ex-Works (also referred to by us as “Ex-Cellar” or “Ex-[name of cellar]”);
Free On Board (also referred to by us as “FOB”);
Free Carrier [place] (also referred to by us as “FCA”); or
Cost, Insurance and Freight [named destination port] (also referred to by us as “CIF”).
These expressions shall have the meaning given to them in the International Chamber of Commerce’s ‘International
Commercial Terms’ / ‘Incoterms’ and, where these expressions are used by us, the applicable responsibilities set out in
the most recent version of Incoterms in effect when ordering shall apply in addition to the provisions in these Terms of
Sale (and in the event of any conflict, the provisions of Incoterms shall prevail). More information regarding Incoterms is
available at http://www.iccwbo.org/incoterms.
Failure to accept delivery: We may use an independent courier of our choice. If you fail to accept delivery of the wine you
have ordered within 3 days of our first attempt to deliver the wine to the specified address, we may charge you for any
consequential storage costs reasonably incurred by us (unless your failure is caused by events beyond your reasonable
control) and we shall not be liable for late delivery.
4. OUR QUALITY GUARANTEE
4.1 Customer service: We work hard to ensure that our customers are satisfied with our service. If you have any questions
or problems, please contact us at:
Alliance Wine, 7 Beechfield Road, Willowyard Estate,Beith, Ayrshire, KA15 1LN
Tel: 01505 506060 Fax: 01505 506066 email: [email protected]
4.2 Quality guarantee: The following warranty is in addition to the legal rights granted to consumers by law. Advice about
the legal rights of consumers is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or trading standards office. All other
warranties are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. We warrant that, on delivery, the wine we supply will:
•
•
•
be of satisfactory and merchantable quality;
comply with all applicable UK laws and regulations; and
conform in all material respects with the description of that wine contained in our written
quote and the sample of that wine supplied to you, each as applicable (our suppliers may
however change the style of labels and packaging at any time so we cannot guarantee that bottles, labelling or packaging
supplied to you will match the descriptions or images contained in our promotional or other material, other than in
relation to the labels of any ‘personalised House style wine’ that we have agreed to supply to you).
70
5.3 Liability to business customers: Unless you are a consumer, our total liability to you, in respect of any claim
by you arising out of or in connection with the provision of (or the failure to provide) wine shall be limited to the
sum paid by you to us for the wine which is the subject of the claim. Unless you are a consumer, all wine must be
examined by you upon receipt and we shall not be liable for any shortages or breakages which are not reported to
us within 24 hours of us delivering the wine (or making the wine available for collection, where applicable).
5.4 Events outwith our control: We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to supply wine which is wholly
or partly caused directly or indirectly by any circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without
limitation: adverse weather or natural disaster; terrorism, war or civil commotion; any labour dispute; compliance
with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction; or non-performance by any of our suppliers.

7. Credit Accounts and use of personal data
The following information is applicable if you apply for a credit account with us:
7.1 Information we use: If you apply for a credit account with us, we will search the records we hold and your
records at credit reference agencies: they will give us shared credit information, fraud prevention information,
and public information (such as details of English County Court Judgments, bankruptcies and information from the
electoral register). If an application for a credit account is being made by or on behalf of a company, partnership,
or other such entity, we may use credit reference agencies to check the details of the individuals who own and/
or control that business. You must ensure that they are all aware that their details may be used in this way. Please
contact us if you want details of those credit reference agencies from which we obtain, and to which we pass,
information about you. You have a legal right to these details. We may use credit scoring or other automated
decision-making systems to assess your application.
7.2 Sharing information about you: We may share your information with credit reference agencies. This
information remains on the agencies’ files for 6 years after our credit arrangement with you is terminated.
Whether or not your application proceeds, the agencies will add to your record details of our searches and your
application. This record (but not our name) will be seen by other organisations when you apply for credit in the
future. A large number of applications within a short period of time could affect your ability to obtain credit. We
will also add to your record with the agencies details of your business’ agreement with us, the payments your
business makes under it, and any default or failure to keep to its terms.
7.3 Use of your credit reference information: The information held by the credit reference agencies we use will be
disclosed to us and other organisations (in the UK and in other countries) to, for example prevent fraud and money
laundering; trace your whereabouts; recover debts that you owe; manage credit accounts and other facilities; or to
make decisions on credit, insurance and other facilities, about you, your financial associate(s), members of your
household or your business.
7.4 Linked information: The information credit reference agencies give us about you may already be linked to
information about someone else you have had a joint account or similar financial association with, including
members of the same household. By submitting an application you confirm that their finances will not affect
our decision. We may check this and may turn down the application if we find it is inaccurate. An ‘association’
between joint applicants (between you and your business partner, for example) will be created at credit reference
agencies. This will link your financial records, each of which will be taken into account in all future applications
by either or both of you. This will continue until one of you successfully applies to the agencies to have the
association removed.
