Wine delivered as ordered but delay due to damage

Wine delivered as ordered by DPD which provide a text with timed delivery window.
Not 5 star this time as my order was damaged in transit at couriers. No one there was proactive to either inform me or O’Briens. I called the couriers at approx 4pm wondering why I was not given a delivery time & check it was on its way. Then I had to ring O’Briens to tell them what had happened and arrange a re-issue of the order.
All ended well. 🍷

Great choice and easy to order

Easy to use website and great choice of wines and spirits. Found the lillet blanc at a good price and chose some wine as well to reach the €65 free delivery threshold. The only reason I haven;t given 5 stars is that I received 3 delivery dates...the box arriving on the third date given.

Some great recommendations made for an excellent wedding

I had trouble ordering the quantities I needed for my wedding via the website, and so got in touch with O'Briens to see if they could help out. James A was a big help, sourcing the Malbec we wanted, and recommending a lovely New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc which went down a treat with guests. Payment and delivery options were pain free, and the wine was delivered in good time ready for the celebrations to begin. I'd happily recommend O'Briens for anyone looking to cater for a big party/wedding etc.

The delivery is fast and prices are great but what I really feel makes O’Brien’s so good is the websites filters. They have thought of everything when it comes to choosing wine and my favourite is being able to filter by alcohol content!
