Cookies
Suggested text: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites
Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
Suggested text: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

1. WHO WE ARE
Archival Wine LLC (“Archival Wine,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) curates limited, single-lot wine releases with a focus on exclusivity, provenance, and storytelling. Some details of our wines remain confidential to protect the source, but quality and authenticity remain uncompromised.
2. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 21 years old to purchase or receive wine from Archival Wine. By placing an order, you affirm that both you and the recipient are at least 21 years of age. All deliveries require the signature of an adult.
3. SHIPPING & DELIVERY
We currently ship to select states within the United States, subject to compliance with all local and federal regulations. Shipping carriers may require additional identity or age verification. We do not guarantee delivery dates but will do our best to fulfill orders promptly.
4. REFUNDS & RETURNS
Due to the nature of our limited releases, all sales are final. However, if your wine is damaged in transit or you receive the wrong bottle, please notify us at support@archivalwine.com within 7 days of delivery, and we’ll make it right.

Purchase history

Behavioral data such as click or email engagement
We use this data to fulfill orders, personalize communications, and improve our Services.
6. COOKIES & TRACKING
Our website uses cookies and tracking technologies to improve your experience and analyze user behavior. You can adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, but this may affect functionality.
7. EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
By signing up or placing an order, you may receive email offers or updates from us. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in the footer of each message. But beware: unsubscribing means you might miss out on rare, one-time releases.
8. PROTECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION
We take security seriously. All payment and personal data is encrypted and processed through secure third-party platforms. However, no system is 100% immune to breach. By using our Services, you accept this risk.
