Stock Levels

We will endeavour to notify you of this occurence and offer a comparable product of equal or greater value. Bear in mind that the minimum 2-dozen limit still applies, even when an item runs out of stock.

Please also remember that products, particularly during good vintages, can run out of vintage. While we make every effort to ensure accurate information about our products are available, sometimes even we can underestimate the demand. Occasionally an advertised vintage will no longer be available.
