Is Boutique De Vin open to the public?
Yes you may call at our studio/workshop which is 115 High Street, Blaina, Abertillery, NP13 3AF. But call first as we may be out on deliveries.
Do you supply single bottles?
Yes, but only as pre-order samples, we are an event supplier so single bottles and small quantities come at a premium price to cover all design and artwork costs. See our scale of charges.
How are the bottles engraved?
We use a multitude of engraving methods but as a rule we engrave with co2 laser engraving machines
How much wine for a wedding?
You do not want to run short of wine on the big day so be sure to order enough and also perepare yourself for the keepsake factor?
For customers new to the keepsake factor we discovered in our very early days that our products are in huge demand on the big for mementoes and keepsakes. Also on an eco point not many empty bottles make it to the recycling bin as guests take them home as souveniers of a glorius day. So our advice is order a few extra, they can always kept and used as presents or kept for the future as a memory of a fantastic day.
To help with estimating your needs we include this guideline based on our experiences of being the prefered wine supplier for the big day:
- The welcome drink, allow approximately 2 glasses per adult, include a non alcaholic wine for drivers and non drinkers
- For the wedding meal allow approximately 2-3 glasses per adult
- For speeches and toast allow 1-2 glasses per adult of sparkling and fizz, also some guests will prefer to remain with wine as the prefered tipple.
These are estimates only, and to work out your order needs allow 5-6 glasses per bottle. Again this is an estimate only but should be helpful in planning the big day.
We estimate that a wedding with 125 guests would require 45 bottles. A word of caution we have heard many tales of our personalised wines vanishing for keepsake and memento purposes, even the empties go walkies ?
Is there an extra charge for gold or silver colouring?
Yes, we build the cost into our product as this is all done by hand, and all colour applications take a minimum of 3 coats to achieve the perfect finish. Total time of an order is 12 days to allow for 3 coats and drying time.
Does the colouring wash of over time?
No, but should it fade from sunlight exposure or from being sat in a display cabinet For many years, contact us and we will give you details of the product required to restore your bottle to its former studio finish.
Is the engraving centred?
Yes all the text and context is centred.
Will you undertake special requests?
Contact us, we will evaluate all customer requests and respond within 24 hours.
How long does it take for a single bottle to be sent?
As a rule approximately 12 days but this will depend on wether the sample is plain etching or coloured, if the sample ordered is plain etching this should arrive within 7 working days.
The product ordering process only allows me to type names and dates can I add anything else like a special comment?
Contact us via the link as this may result in a design cost, we deal with all orders and enquiries on an individual basis, if a special vector has to be made this will add a cost to the order and may result in a delay.
I already have a wedding monogram made, will you be able to use my own logo on your engraving process?
Contact us via the link, this may involve a design vector cost, we aim to deal with all design enquiries within 24 hours.
Which courier do you use?
