This includes which pages are visited, types of products purchased, and any feedback from our visitors. We then aggregate this information with hundreds of thousands of other pieces of information to improve our site and make your experience on the site as valuable and efficient as possible.

By showing us how and when shoppers use the site, cookies also help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on data such as total number of visitors and pages viewed.

Credit Card Processing and Security

Shopping with wineesquire.com is absolutely safe -- you never have to worry about credit-card safety when you are shopping at our site. We guarantee that each purchase you make is protected and safe. If fraudulent charges are ever made, you will not have to pay for them.

We use the latest encryption technology (Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL) to keep your personal information safe. All your ordering information -- including your name, address, and credit card number -- is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security. Your credit card and billing information cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system.

Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party financial institution, which receives the credit card number and other personal identifying information only to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions. If you feel more comfortable doing so, you are welcome to call in your credit card information and complete your purchase by phone.


How do I change, update, or correct personally identifiable information about myself?

If at any time you would like to change any information in your account, just go to the "Account Maintenance" link along the left column of any page. This will take you to the "My Account" page. Here you can change or update your email address, username, password, billing and shipping addresses, and payment options.

How does wineesquire.com protect people under 21 years of age?

Wine Esquire does not knowingly collect any personal information from minors, and we take steps to ensure that minors cannot purchase or receive alcoholic beverages from us. One of these steps is the fact that any of our shipments that contain alcoholic beverages are sent with an "Adult Signature Required" sticker on them, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages from Wine Esquire. Additionally, we suggest that parents get involved with their children's access to the Internet and our site to ensure that their child's privacy is well protected. Selling high-end alcoholic beverages to minors is something that we have absolutely no interest in performing.

Refund and Return Policy:

By law, we are unable to accept returns on alcohol . We are also unable to accept returns on wine that has been damaged due to adverse weather conditions during shipment. In our continuing efforts to keep prices low, we find it necessary to charge a 25% restocking fee on all canceled orders. This is to cover expenses incurred from processing credit card transactions.


Refunds

It is our company’s policy to give total satisfaction to the customer. Although we are unable to except the return of alcohol, in-house adjustments may be considered for unusual circumstances. These will be handled on a one by one basis.

Both refunds and cancellations must be made by calling Wine Esquire directly @ 208.869.9871

Important Notes Regarding Wine Esquire Shipments

• Unless you live in the Northwest or on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting "Ground Service" as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn't make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn't much more expensive). We don't make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the Northwest.

• You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages from Wine Esquire. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an "Adult Signature Required" sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that you will have to be present at the time of delivery.

• We ship by UPS ground or air only. Our prices include packaging materials.

• Wine Esquire will arrange for shipment on behalf of the buyer, to an address specified by the buyer, provided that Wine Esquire in its sole judgement believes that such shipment will not subject Wine Esquire to the risk of any sort of legal action or other harm.
