In accordance with Article L. 3342-1 of the Public Health Code, the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors under the age of eighteen is prohibited. By accessing DirectCave and placing an order, you certify that you are at least eighteen years old.
We reserve the right to request proof of age before dispatch or upon delivery of your order, and to cancel any order placed by a minor. The carrier may require proof of identity upon delivery.

Alcohol abuse is harmful to your health
Wine and spirits are products for enjoyment and sharing, and should be consumed in moderation. Excessive alcohol consumption seriously harms your health and can lead to addiction.
Recommended lower-risk drinking guidelines from Santé publique France: no more than ten standard drinks per week, no more than two drinks per day, and several alcohol-free days per week.
Alcohol and driving
Never drive after drinking. Driving is prohibited when your blood alcohol level exceeds 0.5 g/l (0.2 g/l for novice drivers and public transport drivers). We sell breathalyzers on the website our breathalyzer page, in accordance with our obligations regarding the remote sale of alcoholic beverages.
Vulnerable groups
Consuming alcoholic beverages during pregnancy, even in small amounts, can have serious consequences for the child's health. Alcohol is also not recommended when taking medication without prior medical advice.
