Announcing Our Special Global Shipping Program

We’re excited to announce a special new freight program for wineries entering their wines in the New York International Wine Competition! This special program will allow producers an exclusive opportunity to take advantage of special freight prices from around the world to New York City.

We understand how expensive it can be to ship wines to our competition and have created this flat fee shipping program to help with your submission process. We hope to expand this program to other wine-producing regions in the coming years. Please also contact your wine associations so we can coordinate for next year!

COSTS:

1. Shipping: US $100 per case. Each case can hold a maximum of 4 submissions (12 bottles). Please note, the Shipping Cost does not include competition submission fees, please see our How to Enter Page for submission fee information. It is the same shipping cost per box whether you are shipping 1 submission (3 bottles) or 4 submissions (12 bottles). There is no limit to how many wines you may submit. You are not limited to only 4 submissions.

2. Paperwork/COLA Processing Fees: US $50

3. Wire Transfer Fee if not paying by credit card US $15. Example: If shipping 5 or 8 wine submissions the cost will be 2 Cases ($100 Each) + $50 COLA Paperwork Fee = $250, plus submission costs of $100 per submission.

PROCESS:

1. Wineries must have prior approval from the competition before shipping wine to a warehouse. Any wines shipped to a warehouse without prior approval may be returned to the winery at the winery’s expense. Please contact freight@nyiwinecompetition.com to assist you with the paperwork for the special freight program.
