Worldwide
Deliveries
We regularly arrange time-sensitive and individual fine wine shipments to destinations around the world — including Italy, France, Spain, Canada, the Caribbean and across Asia. Wherever you're based, we'll ensure your wine reaches you smoothly and securely.
Each autumn, we coordinate consolidated shipments to key markets including Hong Kong and Singapore, grouping clients' cases to secure favourable freight terms. This trusted model has proven highly effective and is much appreciated by our international clients.
Air Freight for Time-Sensitive Shipments
For urgent international shipments, air freight offers the fastest turnaround. While naturally more expensive than sea freight, it's ideal for time-critical deliveries. We partner with a small, highly experienced freight forwarder specialising in fine wine, supported by a global network of trusted contacts. Every shipment is handled personally — never just another consignment in the system.
Our International Destinations
Hong Kong
Sea freight has become an increasingly important route for our regular shipments to Hong Kong. We use consolidated, chilled reefer containers — offering excellent value and reliable temperature control in transit. Once landed, we partner with Rhenus Logistics for onward delivery and storage.
For clients requiring temporary or long-term storage, we recommend Crown Wine Cellars — a respected name in the local fine wine community.
Singapore
Our Singapore service follows the same model as Hong Kong, with chilled container shipments arriving regularly. On the ground, we work with Wine Bond PTE, who offer secure cold storage and trusted private client distribution. They also provide respected local storage solutions for clients seeking longer-term arrangements.
Australia
Alex Cox has been making regular visits to Sydney since 2015, building on relationships forged by his parents in earlier decades. We arrange annual consolidated shipments to Australia, coordinating cases for multiple clients to secure favourable freight terms.
For bespoke or individual deliveries, costs vary depending on the route and requirements — all shipping prices are clearly displayed at checkout before purchase is confirmed.
Duty & Tax
Each country has its own duty and tax rules. These are settled locally, with the delivering agent contacting you directly. We're happy to advise on estimated local charges prior to shipment — please get in touch with the team.
Please note: Any stock stored In Bond at Octavian is not subject to UK Duty or VAT unless released for use within the UK.
