Terms & Conditions

By placing an order for wine on this site, it is understood that you agree to the following Terms and Conditions:

Taste Hungary Wine Club Membership

Taste Hungary Wine Club members receive a mixed box of six wines every three months. Each shipment comes with our educational packet, which includes tasting notes, information about the regions, a recipe, and other information to help you learn about the wines, varietals, and regions. Current members are also entitled to a 20 percent discount on Taste Hungary’s tours and wine tastings in Hungary. There are no membership fees, and no commitment. You only pay the recurring subscription fee for the quarterly wine shipments.

Membership Cancellation

Your membership will be active until you cancel it. Your credit card will be charged automatically four times per year, a few weeks before each shipment is sent out. You can cancel your membership, and the next shipment, at any time before you are billed for it (which is the 1st day of the shipping months of September, December, March, and June). To cancel, just send an email to wineclub@tastehungary.com or login to your account to make the cancellation.  

Credit Card Processing

Purchasing through our site is done safely and securely using Stipe, an accredited third-party financial institution which handles the processing through their own protected servers. Wine Club memberships ($125 + 10.25  percent sales tax + applicable shipping) are charged on a quarterly basis on the first day of the months of March, June, September, and December. On your credit card statement the charge will appear as from “Tasting Table Budapest LLC.” 

Shipping

Prices vary by state. See the table on this page for the latest shipping costs. Our shipping pricing is based on orders of 6 bottles, using UPS or Fedex ground service. We cannot ship to PO boxes or government buildings. Here’s where we can ship, as of now:

Shipping Scheduling

Wine Club orders will be sent out in the first two weeks of every third month (March, June, September, and December). If you join the club as a new member with a few weeks of the shipping of the current collection we will contact you to discuss which collection you’d like to start with. Shipments may take between one and ten business days to arrive, depending on your state.

Collection #1 – Starting on September 15th 2019
Collection #2 – December 1st-15th 2019
Collection #3 – March 1st-15th 2020
Collection #4 – June 1st-15th 2020
Collection #5 – September 1st-15th 2020
Collection #6 – December 1st-15th 2020

Non-Wine Club orders are generally shipped out once a week. If you would like your wines shipped by a certain date, let us know and we’ll do our best to make it happen.  We cannot guarantee delivery dates. We use UPS or Fedex ground service, so the wine could be in transit from between one and seven business days. You’ll get an email notification with your tracking number and expected delivery date once your order has been processed.

Missed Deliveries

You’ll get a UPS tracking code as soon as it’s available. UPS generally makes three delivery attempts. They’ll leave a notification if a delivery was attempted unsuccessfully. Since they require the signature of someone over 21 for alcohol, the package cannot be left without a signature if you are not at home. If you get a notification and you still can’t be available for delivery the next day, you can contact the UPS to arrange pickup at a UPS location. If you plan to be on vacation or otherwise unable to accept your delivery, please contact us in advance so we can hold it until you are ready. If your package is returned to us, an additional charge may be applicable to re-deliver your order. UPS will make three delivery attempts.
