Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Le Clos du Caillou

Rhône

"Le Clos du Caillou sits at Courthézon, on the eastern edge of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The estate's curious history is that part of its vineyard, which sits inside what is now Châteauneuf-du-Pape, was excluded from the appellation when it was demarcated in 1936 — the family wouldn't permit the surveyors onto the property because the owner was hunting. Only the parcels within the appellation boundary today carry the AOC.
