Château Wines Direct was started by a small group of high quality, award-winning vineyards that wanted to make purchasing of their wines easy and affordable for their Scandinavian customers in Denmark and Sweden. Château Wines Direct’s goal is simple: be a seamless and natural extension of our vineyards and give you easy and affordable access to our wines without you having to pay more than you would “aux caves” (directly from the vineyards).We can sell our wines for the same price as our vineyards do “aux caves” (directly at our vineyards), because Château Wines Direct is not meant to be a profit center. Our vineyards support the operational costs required for Château Wines Direct to act as their distribution center in Fredensborg, DK, and therefore the vineyards receive 100% of the sales of their respective wines, ensuring that they can continue to make the high quality wines that we all love!
Yes. Currently we only ship our wines to Denmark and Sweden. As an extra service for our Swedish customers, Château Wines Direct takes care of all Swedish alcohol taxes that are required by law, so you don’t have to!
We of course want to make sure that your wine arrives at your door in good shape, but just as important is that the wine is handled with special care when it leaves our warehouse, which is why we have partnered with Bring DK and Bring SE.
Wine is heavy, fragile and requires special handling when shipping. Bring is able to meet all our requirements, and to make shipping as affordable as possible for you, we send from our warehouse twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays – all orders must be received latest by noon the day before). We offer flat-rate shipping costs so you can order as much wine as you want without having to pay extra!
Shipping within Denmark is DKK 100 kroner and you can choose delivery to your home, office or to an official Bring pick-up location. Orders normally arrive within 1-5 working days.
Shipping to Sweden is SEK 200 kroner and Bring SE delivers directly to your home address Monday-Friday between 20:00-22:00. Bring will contact you via SMS or telephone to arrange a delivery time that works best for you. Upon delivery, you must show valid identification to ensure that you are at least 20 years of age (to comply with Swedish law). Orders normally arrive within 4-7 working days.

See our calendar of events here. If you are interested in hosting a private wine tasting event, we can arrange tastings for both small and large groups of people depending on your needs. Email us and we will contact you and help you plan the perfect wine tasting event for your needs.
