About us
Majestic Wine is proud to be the UK’s largest specialist wine retailer. Originally founded as ‘Majestic Vintners’ by Sheldon Graner in 1980, the first warehouse was opened in Harringay, North London. There are now more than 200 stores in the UK.
What makes Majestic special? Our people.
We only employ people who are friendly, enthusiastic and refreshingly down-to-earth. The world of wine can be a little stuffy, but Majestic never is. We want you to feel relaxed when you explore wine with us, because that's how we like to work.
What’s more, we put our money where our mouth is – every single one of our store colleagues works towards being professionally accredited by the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET). This means you get informed answers to your wine questions, along with personal recommendations from people who enjoy drinking and learning about wine just as much as you do.

Guarantee & Returns
I would like to return some of the wine I have bought, is this possible?
Of course. Our return policy means you can return unopened bottles to your local store for a full refund. All we ask is that they’re in a re-saleable condition – the labels are intact and nothing’s damaged – and that you show us proof of purchase. For party and wedding orders, this refund is limited to 25% of the cost of the original order. You can find our full sale-or-return policy here.
What if you opened something and simply didn’t enjoy it? Wine is a luxury, and we’d never want you to pay for a bottle that wasn’t fully up to scratch. Whether it’s faulty, or just not to your taste – all you need to do is visit your local Majestic store, and they’ll be happy to replace the bottle with a personalised alternative of the same value. No quibble. No questions asked.

Yes - if you are interested in using Majestic for your business needs please visit Majestic Commercial.
Weddings & Parties
At Majestic we understand the importance of the wines you choose for your wedding or party. Luckily, we have a wealth of expertise to support you in your planning, with a whole range of services to support you before and on your big day.
Can you advise on the wine I should buy?
Of course - all of our store colleagues are working for their WSET qualifications, and experts in their field. We can talk you through all of your options and can also offer a free wine tasting store for you and a small group – just contact us ahead of time to arrange.
Do you offer glass hire?
We do indeed. Our glass hire service includes wine glasses, flutes and hi-ball tumblers.
We ask for a £2-per-glass deposit, payable in advance, and that the glasses are returned to us clean and ready for re-use. The deposit is fully refundable – all you pay for is breakages. And since you have paid a deposit, there's no time limit in which you have to return them. Glass hire is free for orders up to 24 glasses. For orders of 25 glasses and more, we charge a £1 per dozen glass handling charge.
To add glasses to your online order, place your order as usual, then contact your local store, quoting your order number.
When you're done with the glasses, you'll need to return them to the Majestic store that delivered them (or that you collected from) – unfortunately we are not able to offer a collection service for glasses. If you paid the deposit by debit or credit card you will need to bring the card with you when returning the glasses. A deduction of £2 per glass will be made to cover any breakages or losses.
Glass loan is at your local store manager's discretion, is subject to availability, and only available to customers purchasing wines, spirits and beers in quantities proportionate to the number of glasses requested. Glass loan is only available in areas where we deliver direct from store, and not by courier.
Do you deliver the drinks chilled?
No - however, we do offer free chiller bin hire and sell ice. We can advise on the number of chiller bins and quantities of ice needed to keep everything chilled – but as a rough guide: Majestic chiller bins hold 18-24 bottles of wine or champagne or 2-3 cases (48-72 bottles) of lager when filled with ice and water. Filled with 3-4 bags of ice, drinks will be well chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours especially if kept in the shade. These chiller bins are available on a £35-a-bin deposit basis, refunded in full on return.
To add chiller bins and ice to your online order, place your order as usual, then contact your local store, quoting your order number.
When you're done with the bins, you'll need to return them to the Majestic store that delivered them (or that you collected from) – unfortunately we are not able to offer a collection service for chiller bins. If you paid the deposit by debit or credit card you will need to bring the card with you when returning the bins. All we ask is that the bins are returned to us clean and unbroken.
Chiller bin loan is at your local store manager's discretion, is subject to availability, and only available to customers purchasing wines, spirits and beers. Chiller bin loan is only available in areas where we deliver direct from the local store, and not by courier.
Can I bring back unopened bottles?
Our staff will be happy to offer advice on quantities, but we also provide a sale-or-return policy.
Please arrange sale-or-return in advance when you are placing your order and that everything comes back in a saleable condition – we cannot refund bottles with labels peeling off, or beer in opened or incomplete cases. See our full terms and conditions.
We do not offer a collection service so you are responsible for returning the items to the store from which they were bought.
Sale-or-return is at your local store manager's discretion, and should always be arranged in advance with your local store.
Can you deliver to the venue?
To make things easier for you, we can deliver directly to your event venue. Delivery should always be discussed in advance with your local store, and we ask that you please give a name of who will be accepting the delivery, along with contact numbers for the venue. You can add any extra details about the order in the 'add a delivery message' box when ordering online.

Do you sell ice?
Yes - we sell bags of ice that we can deliver with the rest of your drinks.
To add ice and chiller bins to your online order, just place your order as normal, then contact the store, quoting your order number.

What is a 'Special Buy'?
A great Majestic tradition whereby our Buyers have tracked down brilliant wines only available in small, one off parcels. Shop now.
If you’d like to keep informed of our latest offers, including our 'Special Buy' parcels, just create an online account and make sure you tick the box to receive our communications.
How do substitutions work?
Online orders will either be fulfilled from store or via our warehouse. Our wine experts in-store are able to offer substitutes of the same value or higher if there is a problem with any of the wines you've selected if the order is fulfilled by store. Unfortunately, this is not possible with orders from our warehouse and therefore we will stay in touch to let you know about any shortages.
How do I place a product review?
To review any of our products simply log in to your account online (or register if you haven't already done so), go to the page of the wine you'd like to review and click 'Write a review'. You can rate the wine out of five stars and tell us if you’d buy it again.
What is a 'Buy it Again' rating?
You're our most important critic. Our ‘Buy it Again’ ratings make sure we continue to buy wines that you'll absolutely love - you can help shape our range, and also read reviews from other customers to help you find your new favourite.
I am ordering from Scotland. How does that affect my order?
The Alcohol (Scotland) Act 2010, which came into force on 1 October 2011, disallows any alcohol promotion offering customers a discount for buying multiple products in Scottish stores whilst the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012 sets a minimum price of 50 pence per unit for all alcoholic beverages sold in Scotland. The Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012 which came into force on 1 May 2018 sets a minimum unit price of 50 pence for all alcoholic beverages sold in Scotland.
So that all our customers can benefit from the same competitive pricing, wherever a multi-buy price is offered in England and Wales, this will be the single-bottle price we charge in Scotland, unless such a price is beneath the minimum price threshold as outlined by the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012, in such cases the price will automatically be changed to reflect the minimum legal price in Scotland.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the accessibility of this site, please contact us, and we will be pleased to hear your feedback.

Where can I purchase Perfect Draft kegs?

Only PerfectDraft kegs will be compatible. Here is the link to our selected range of PerfectDraft Kegs.

You can find an alternative way to return directly to PerfectDraft here: https://www.perfectdraft.com/en-gb/perfect-draft-returnslink.
How much will I get for my empty kegs?
When you return an empty keg and purchase another keg, you will be given £5 credit against your purchase- this will need to be an immediate purchase and cannot be used on future orders.
This order can include other Majestic products but must include a Perfect Draft keg.
If you return more than one empty keg, you will be given £5 credit for each one which you can use against any order as long as it contains at least 1 keg and the value of the order is more than the credit for the empty kegs.
How long is the warranty/ guarantee on the machines?
All Perfect Draft products are subject to a 2 year warranty from the date of purchase.
For full information on product warranties, including conditions and exemptions, please read our terms and conditions, available here.

If you have not received this, please follow this link: https://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/HD3720_25/perfectdraft-home-beer-draft-system/support.
How do I access my PerfectDraft rewards/tokens?
In-Store Rewards is PerfectDraft's rewards program which allows customers to accrue beer tokens (points) on all in store purchases of PerfectDraft kegs.
Each keg purchase earns 20 beer tokens (the equivalent to £1)
Beer tokens can be redeemed online with PerfectDraft (not currently redeemable in store)
How does this work in store?
- During a purchase, you will be asked to load the PerfectDraft app and access the In-Store Rewards Hub.
- You will then select their location, and add in the quantity of kegs you are purchasing (the maximum amount of points you can earn is 10 kegs per transaction)
- You will be prompted to show the Majestic colleague your phone to validate their purchase. The store will then need to confirm the quantity shown in the app.
- The app will then ask for the QR code. All stores have a unique QR code which they will then scan to complete the transaction.
*Tokens can only be redeemed at the time of purchase.
What do I do if I have trouble downloading the in-store rewards PerfectDraft app
How should I dispose of my PerfectDraft machine?
All electrical waste should be disposed of in accordance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment regulations.
You can dispose of your machine by visiting http://www.responsible-recycling.co.uk/contact-us/find-your-local-recycling-centre/ and identifying your local recycling collection point.
My question isn’t answered here, what should I do?
