UB = Under Bond (sometimes termed as IB - In Bond). This means that no tax or duty has been paid on the wines at the point of entry into the UK and they must be stored in a Bonded Warehouse until sold with duty and VAT applied. It is possible to buy wine UB and leave it in a bonded warehouse and not pay the duty and tax until you want to take delivery. This is a particularly attractive option for young wines as you can buy them at the tax free price, keep them for 20 or 30 years and then only pay tax on the original purchase price.

DP = Duty Paid. Once the duty (which is about £2 per bottle for fortified wines) has been paid it is not possible to purchase the wines from a retailer without paying VAT at the point of sale.

how about if I, in the US, buy the wines.

Do I have to pay the taxes?

2000 cheval blanc set records at 9k per case (with 6 cases up for sale)

Perhaps bordeaux can be correlated to the truly rich, and port wine the populous?

Tesco are running their "Buy 6 bottles and get 25% off" sale at the moment, port is included in the sale.

Sainsbury are discounting the Croft Pink Port as their contribution to the price war - currently £7.50.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Happily, provided you pay me in advance and give me a note to say "It's not for me, it's for my weird friend. He's Californian, you know."

Do you want it stored in offsite storage for the next 10 years so that you can be the only person in the entire world to own Croft Bottle Aged Traditional Pink Port.

I really wonder what it would be like...but not enough to find out!

Get them relabeled first with a date, and sell them in 25 years as a previously-unknown Pink Colheita :)
