THE GUARANTEE
Your first bottle of every wine is on us if you don't love it.
Not a credit. Not store credit. Not a coupon for next time. Your actual money, back in your account. That's it.
Try any Bruno wine for the first time. If it doesn't beat what you normally drink β email hey@bruno.wine and you're refunded. Keep the bottle. No shipping labels. No return authorization numbers. No 10-step process. One email to a real person.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Try any wine
Pick a bottle. Any bottle. Your first bottle of each wine is covered.
2. Don't love it?
Email hey@bruno.wine. That's the founder's inbox. Not a chatbot. Not a returns department.
3. Get your money back
Full refund. Keep the bottle. No forms, no return shipping, no hoops to jump through. Done.
WHY THIS GUARANTEE EXISTS
We do this because nobody else will.
Walk into any wine shop. Buy a bottle. Drink half of it, hate it, and try to get your money back. Good luck.The entire wine industry is built on the assumption that once you've paid, it's your problem. Bad bottle? Your fault for picking it. Don't know enough about wine to choose well? Maybe read more tasting notes next time. We think that's insane. If we can't make a wine you love more than what you're already drinking, we don't deserve your money. Simple as that.
THE RISK WE TAKE
Yes, people could take advantage of this. We don't care.
Someone could order a bottle, drink the whole thing, email us "didn't love it," and get a full refund. That's the deal. We built it that way on purpose.
Here's why we're not worried: our wines are made by winemakers whose day-job bottles sell for $100-$150. One of them has over a hundred 90-point scores. When you put that quality in someone's glass, the refund rate stays exactly where it should β almost zero.
The guarantee isn't a gimmick. It's us putting our money where our mouth is. If the wine isn't good enough, we eat the cost. That's the deal we made with ourselves before we ever sold a single bottle.
SIDE BY SIDE
Not all guarantees are created equal.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What exactly is covered?
Your first bottle of every wine we make. So if you try Forget Napa Cab and don't love it β refund. Later you try Better Than Sauvy B and don't love that either β also refund. Each wine gets one risk-free try.
Do I have to send the bottle back?
No. Keep it. Give it to someone. Cook with it. We're not going to make you pack up a wine bottle and take it to FedEx. That's absurd.
Is there a time limit?
No. Take your time. Drink it with dinner, with friends, on a Tuesday at 9pm in your kitchen. Whenever you get around to it. If you don't love it, email us.
Who do I email?
hey@bruno.wine β that's the founder's inbox. Not a ticketing system. Not a chatbot. A real person who actually cares whether you liked the wine.
What if I ordered a case and don't like it?
The guarantee covers your first bottle of each wine. If you ordered a 12-pack of the same wine and don't love it, we'll refund the cost of one bottle. We think that's fair β and it's still more than anyone else in the industry offers.
How long does the refund take?
We process it the day you email us. Depending on your bank or credit card, it shows up in 1-5 business days.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. We genuinely believe our wines are better than what you're currently drinking at the same price. If we're wrong, we pay for it. That's the whole business model.
Why don't other wine brands do this?
Because most wine sellers buy bottles from other producers and resell them. They can't stand behind quality they didn't control. We work directly with our winemakers. We know exactly what's in every bottle because we were there when it was made. That's why we can make this promise and they can't.
SHOP RISK-FREE
The only thing you risk is finding a wine you actually love.
We make 8 wines with some of the best independent winemakers in America. Organic. Small-batch. Shipped direct from the winery to your door. No middlemen, no markup, no risk. If your first bottle doesn't beat what you normally drink, we'll refund it. That's not a marketing line β that's how we've operated since day one.
