Customer Reviews

Natalie P.

Great for beginners
I’m just getting into wine and ordered a mixed case of reds they recommended. The descriptions on the website were super helpful for a newbie, and the bottles were fantastic. I’m learning a lot thanks to SipsVintage.

A cut above the rest
I’ve ordered from many online liquor stores, and SipsVintage has the most professional presentation. From the confirmation email to the tracking updates, everything felt premium. You get what you pay for.

Best prices on rare Mezcal
I’ve been looking for a specific small-batch Mezcal for months. SipsVintage had it in stock and shipping was fast. The bottle was nestled in a custom foam insert. No complaints here.

Mixed results
First order was perfect. Second order, I received the wrong vintage year for the wine I ordered. To be fair, they apologized and gave me a discount on my next order, but it was a hassle to send it back. I’ll give them another shot, but I’ll double-check my bottles immediately next time.

Smooth transaction
Simple interface, easy payment, fast delivery. Not much more you can ask for. The IPA selection is a bit small, but their whiskey game is strong.

Isabella Rossi

My husband was shocked!
I surprised my husband with a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle (at a much better price than the local raffles). He couldn't believe I found it online. SipsVintage delivered exactly what was promised. Five stars!

They stand behind their product
I received a bottle of wine that had a slightly raised cork (likely from heat exposure during shipping). I contacted support with a photo. Without hesitation, they issued a full refund and told me to keep the bottle (it was still drinkable, just not perfect). That’s how you earn a loyal customer.

Samantha Lee

Nice variety of mixers too
Everyone talks about the rare spirits, but SipsVintage also has a great selection of artisanal bitters and vermouths that are hard to find locally. Shipping is a little expensive, but it’s worth it for the variety.

Thomas Wright

Authentic vintage champagne
Found a bottle of 1996 Dom Pérignon for a steal. I was skeptical about the storage conditions, but the cork was pristine and the fill level was perfect. It drank beautifully. Trustworthy vendor.

The packaging is bomb-proof
I ordered a fragile vintage glass decanter set. I was terrified it would shatter in transit. When it arrived, I spent ten minutes just cutting through the bubble wrap and foam. Not a scratch on it. SipsVintage takes shipping safety very seriously.
