Delivery, Discounts & GST

Who you're buying from

Sold by the winery, bought through AIWine.

AIWine.co.nz is operated by AIWine Ventures Limited. Each wine is supplied and sold to you by the winery that makes it, which accounts for GST on the sale; the sale itself is transacted through this site under AIWine's off-licence, and AIWine collects payment as the winery's agent. AIWine Ventures Limited holds an off-licence under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, with a remote-sale endorsement for online orders. Our licence holder name, licence number and expiry date are shown in the site footer, with a link to a copy of the licence (and on every order at checkout), as the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Regulations 2013 require.

To get your wine to you fresh from source, each partner winery packs and dispatches the wine it makes directly from its cellar door. The winery is responsible for the wine it supplies; AIWine is responsible for the platform, for taking your payment and for the sale being made lawfully under its licence.

Because each winery dispatches its own wines, an order containing wines from more than one winery is split into separate shipments — that's why postage applies per winery, shown clearly in your case before you pay.

Delivery

Per-winery shipments, NZ-wide.

What	Detail
Where	New Zealand addresses only. Australia (aiwine.com.au) and international delivery are coming — register your interest in the cart.
Delivery	Typically $12 flat per winery shipment of 1–5 bottles. Some wineries set their own rate or free-delivery point.
Free delivery	Usually on a Discovery Six — 6 or more bottles in one winery (or winery group) shipment. A few wineries set this at a full dozen.
Who delivers	Each winery dispatches its own wines via tracked courier.
Delivery hours	Alcohol is never delivered between 11pm and 6am, as required by law.
ID on delivery	Deliveries may require signature from someone 18+. Couriers can request ID and will not leave wine with a minor.

Discounts

The Discovery Six & Dozen.

Rewards apply to the bottles in each winery shipment — because that's the box the winery packs. Brands in the same winery group count together, since they ship from one hub. These are the usual terms; each winery can set its own minimum order, free-delivery point and whether the dozen discount applies:

Discovery Six — 6+ bottles in one shipment: free delivery.
Discovery Dozen — 12+ bottles in one shipment: free delivery, and 10% off those bottles where the winery offers it.
Craft wineries that ship in 6s & 12s — some small producers pack only full cartons; the cart's winemaker suggestions help you complete the six.

Each winery sets its own delivery, minimums and case deals — your case shows each shipment's exact terms and progress before you pay. Mix freely.

GST & pricing

Prices include GST. Always.

All prices are in New Zealand dollars and include GST at 15% — nothing is added at checkout.
Your case shows the GST content of your total before you pay.
Order confirmations name the supplying winery for each shipment, with its GST number where that winery is GST-registered.
Discounts and postage are GST-inclusive too — what you see is what you pay.

Who accounts for the GST. AIWine operates a marketplace and acts as agent for the winery in collecting payment. The winery is the supplier of the wine and accounts for GST on the wine sale; AIWine accounts for GST only on its own commission. AIWine Ventures Limited is GST-registered, GST No. 148-900-086, and that number appears on your receipt because AIWine collected the payment — not because AIWine is the seller of the wine.

Age & responsibility

18+ only — checked twice.

You must be 18 or older to buy wine in New Zealand. You confirm your age when entering the site and again at checkout.
If someone else is receiving your delivery, they must also be 18+ — couriers can ask for ID.
We support responsible enjoyment of wine. If you're concerned about your drinking, visit alcohol.org.nz or call the Alcohol Drug Helpline on 0800 787 797.
