Age restrictions

Age verification when ordering

Sweet Cheeks Winery only sells and ships wines to those 21 years of age and older. To place an order, you must provide your date of birth (and the recipient's date of birth if sending a gift). By placing an order with Sweet Cheeks Winery, you certify under the penalty of perjury that you are and the recipient are at least 21 years of age.

Age verification upon delivery

By law, wine cannot be delivered without the signature of a person 21 years or older. Notes to the carrier to leave your package without a signature will not be accepted. Due to the signature requirement, orders cannot be delivered to P.O. boxes.

Shipping and delivery logistics

Once FedEx or UPS has picked up your order, Sweet Cheeks Winery is no longer responsible for managing shipping or delivery changes. You must manage all orders through FedEx Delivery Manager or UPS My Choice, or by contacting the carrier directly. Please note there is a $20 fee if any changes to your shipping address cannot be arranged by you with the carrier. This is the standard fee that FedEx and UPS charge us for making this change on your behalf.

Wine is a perishable commodity and does not like hot, humid summer temperatures or freezing cold winter temperatures. Sweet Cheeks Winery is not responsible for and will not replace wine that is damaged by extreme weather conditions during shipment. Once UPS or FedEx picks up a shipment, the wine becomes the purchaser's responsibility.

Both FedEx and UPS will attempt your delivery three times. After the third failed attempt, your wines will be returned to Sweet Cheeks Winery. If you request the wines be sent out again, applicable shipping and/or sales tax will be charged.

We cannot guarantee the condition of your wine if delivery is not successful on the first attempt by FedEx or UPS.

Return policy

All sales are final. By law, we cannot accept returns of alcoholic beverages unless the wine is flawed or corked. We are also unable to accept the return of wine that was damaged due to adverse weather conditions during shipment or wine that is ordered in error.

Returning flawed or corked wine

We will replace or refund any bottle of wine that is corked or flawed. Contact us at info@sweetcheekswinery.com within one week of receiving your shipment to arrange for the return of corked or flawed wines.

We ask that you return the unfinished portion of the original bottle for replacement. Once the wine is received, we will refund the cost of the wine, less shipping and any applicable sales tax, to the credit or debit card you used when you placed your order. If the original shipment is proven to be flawed by our winemaker or damaged by the carrier, you will receive a full refund, including shipping and applicable sales tax.
