What's included
How the wines are chosen
I curate every case personally. If you note your wine preference, I'll do my best to accommodate, subject to vintage availability.
Delivery dates
Membership follows a release date calendar, not a sign-up clock. Your Friend Membership deliveries are:
Wines are delivered on fixed dates each year, regardless of what time of year you join.
Join before a release date and it's your first delivery. Join after one and your first delivery is the next date on the release calendar.
Founding memberships are the first memberships available with Ben Haines Wine. It is open until 6 September, and never opens again. Members who join in this window pay founding prices held in perpetuity for as long as the membership stays active.
From September 6th 2026, Friend Membership price will increase to p.a.
Founding members also receive a welcome pack ahead of their first delivery. It's a special gift, so I'd rather not spoil it here.
Shipping is included within Australia.
Deliveries will be sent with Anonymous Wine Freight within serviced areas.
All other deliveries will be sent with Australia Post.
Both services will include tracking so you can track your delivery.
The membership
A Ben Haines Wine membership is an annual wine allocation, not a subscription box. It runs for twelve months from the day you join, and renews on that anniversary each year.
What is included
Wines and preferences
The wines are made by hand in small quantities and change with each vintage. We record your preferences and take them into account where the wine allows, but the selection in each delivery is ours to make and cannot be guaranteed. Where a wine is unavailable, it is replaced with one of equal or greater value.
Deliveries
Exact dates shift slightly each year with the vintage, and to keep deliveries clear of Easter and the Christmas courier period. Your next delivery date is shown above. Delivery is within Australia only. Shipping is included in the membership price.
Payment
You can pay in full when you join, or pay half to secure your place with the balance charged automatically to your card shortly before your first delivery. If a payment does not clear we will contact you directly, and your delivery is held until it is resolved.
Renewal
Your membership renews automatically at your existing rate. We send notice 30 days before renewal, and a reminder 7 days before. You can cancel, pause or change tier at any time from your account, or by replying to any membership email.
Cancelling
Cancel before your renewal date and no further payment is taken. Within a membership year, deliveries already dispatched are not refundable, and the deposit taken to secure your place is not refunded if you cancel before your first delivery. If we are unable to supply your allocation, you are refunded in full. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Missed payments
If a renewal payment fails we contact you personally rather than cancel. Your membership, and your founding status, are held for 60 days while it is resolved.
Places
Places are limited by what we make, and are allocated in the order they are taken.
Age and delivery
You must be 18 or over to purchase or receive wine. Deliveries require an adult signature and cannot be left unattended. Liquor Licence No. 57623299. It is an offence to sell or supply liquor to, or to obtain liquor on behalf of, a person under the age of 18 years.

These terms may be updated. Members are notified by email of any material change before it takes effect.
