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 Fabien Duveau

Loire

Fabien Duveau works small parcels in the Saumur appellation south of Saumur in the central Loire. The local soils are tuffeau, the soft chalk-limestone that runs through Touraine, Anjou and Saumur and gives the region's whites their cool minerality and the reds their structured, fresh character.

The range is short — Saumur Blanc (100% Chenin) from La Hunaudière, and Saumur Champigny (100% Cabernet Franc) from the Les Menais lieu-dit.
