i have to ask because I never knew, but what is this concept of UB and DP in british sites?

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?

Posted: **03:47 Fri 27 Jun 2008**

In-bond wines can be exported,without payment of UK taxes. The US will doubtless impose its own, but not the UK.

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've not tried the Smith Woodhouse '97, but at that price and with the reputation that they have and my experience of their other vintages, I was more than happy to risk £10 per bottle.

Gotcha. When you look at the "in bond" prices, the website tells you how many cases are available.

Thanks.

Just so that people understand how good this SW97 deal is the current http://www.wine-searcher.com low price in the UK is £200 IB, the lowest in the US is £275 before tax is added.

http://www.portlover.com give this wine 90 points.

Buy it.

Incidentally, their out-of-bond numbers includes both bottles in their cellars at St. James’s and at their out-of-town warehouse. (I’d assumed it was the just the former). This makes it worth calling ahead if you are planning a visit to pick up something in person.

The prices were only released today, so it could be a delay in the Wine Searcher webcrawlers picking up the price.

Or it could be the fact that Berry's have several prices and the crawlers only pick up the first (undiscounted) price.

Or it could be some other reason.

But Berry's aren't showing up on the list at all, which suggests that this is a new shipment that has only hit the market today? If so, good spot AHB

It does confuse me slightly why BBR would end up with such a large shipment of port at this price. Surely this is Tesco or M&S territory for Christmas 2008?

Posted: **13:12 Sat 19 Jul 2008**

It’s now “Buy 6 and save £44.40 (23.5%)† (about £23 a bottle). Serves me right for not ordering on the immediately (I was planning on going over the West End today so could have picked up a half-case in person).

I’ll be interested to hear if they fulfil the orders that you made last night as the price appears to have been a mistake…

I was too slow, as Jackie at BBR just told me—by phone—that the In-Bond price is £217 per case. Shame: I was going to take several cases.
