Our Shipping Information

General Policies:

The purchase of wine or spirits through this site, and the payment of New York sales tax, assumes that buyer has taken possession of their purchase in New York, and simply authorizes Sterling Cellars to ship them their rightful property. Non-New York residents are responsible for determining whether they may lawfully import alcoholic beverages into their state. 

Sterling Cellars makes no legal claim relative to your right to import wine or spirits into a specific state. Since each state has individual standards regarding importation of alcoholic beverages, you may want to check with the appropriate agency concerning such importation. Changes in state law may invalidate a transaction. If a circumstance should arise prior to shipment of the wine or spirits, a full refund would  be authorized.

We can ship wine to the following states:

Alaska
