When You become a Naked Angel, You will be helping Our network of talented winemakers to make delicious wines, for less.

You support them by depositing $40 a month into your Naked Wines piggy bank towards Your next order. Yours to spend on ANY of Our wines, whenever You want. We combine your funds with ours to fund our winemakers to create these amazing handcrafted wines.

In return for Your support, You save at least 25% (and up to 50%) every time You place an order (i.e. You pay the Angel Price rather than the normal price listed next to each wine).

Naked Angels are also offered a free premium bottle of wine every month if You order a case, while stocks last. To claim Your free bottle, add it to Your basket from Your Naked Me page (unless we have added it already!) and checkout with at least 12 other bottles.

Also: As a Naked Angel there is no obligation to order whatsoever. You decide when You want to order (if at all) and what You want to order.

Your monthly deposits will be transferred from your registered debit or credit card once per month. You can change Your payment date on Your Account page.

The funds in your Naked Wines piggy bank will be used to make purchases in accordance with a “First-In First-Out” (“FIFO”) method, meaning the first-added or oldest funds will be used first to make any purchases on our site and will be withdrawn first in the event we return some, but not all, of your funds to you.

If You place an order that totals more than the balance in Your Naked Wines account, then We will debit Your registered debit / credit card the difference.

ANGEL FUNDS REFUNDABILITY

  1. Persons who became Angels before March 12, 2024:

    1. Your unspent Angel contributions are refundable in cash or redeemable for merchandise of an equivalent value available on our site (e.g., wine), whichever you prefer.  

  2. Persons who became Angels on or after March 12, 2024:

    1. Your unspent Angel contributions are refundable in cash or redeemable for merchandise of an equivalent value available on our site (e.g., wine) in our sole discretion while you remain an “Active Angel.”  Active Angels have made an Angel contribution or a purchase on our site within the last two years. 

    2. If you are no longer an Active Angel, your unspent Angel contributions are redeemable exclusively for merchandise of an equivalent value available on our site (e.g., wine).  If you’ve been inactive for three years or more, your unspent Angel contributions will expire and will no longer be redeemable on the site. 

  3. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time in our sole discretion.  Any changes to this policy will be reflected as updates to these terms and conditions.

  4. If you stop making Your monthly Angel deposits for 3 consecutive months and you have Angel funds in your Naked Wines piggy bank (“Angel Credit”) and you don't contact us to make some other arrangement we will:

    1. Refund your Angel Credit to your nominated credit card or bank account or send you wine of an equivalent value in accordance with the above policies.

    2. If you are entitled to a cash refund and we are unable to contact you or refund your nominated credit card or bank account, you expressly consent to us sending wine of an equivalent value to your last-known address. 

    3. If we can’t deliver the wine to that address for any reason, you agree that we may donate that wine to a registered charity, who can use the wine for their fundraising. This way everyone benefits.

Please Note: There are a handful of highly discounted cases which do not have an exclusive Angel discount, which we will specify on the website. However, You will still save a minimum of 25% (excluding some introductory offers).

Money-Off Vouchers: if You have a promotional money-off voucher in Your account, these are only redeemable against the standard price, not the Angel price, unless otherwise stated.

Gift Certificates: As these are like money, there is no Angel discount when buying gift certificates BUT You will still receive Your Angel discount when You spend a gift certificate.

Cancellation: You can cancel your Naked Angel Account at any time, online on Your account page, via email at chat@nakedwines.com.au OR by calling Us on 1300 898 677 FREE. Please note, that if You have any vouchers in Your account, We cannot refund these but, subject to the provisions below You will receive all unused money that you paid into Your account.

If you stop making Your monthly Angel deposits for 3 consecutive months and you have Angel Credit and you don't contact us to make some other arrangement we will:

  1. Refund your Angel Credit to your nominated credit card or bank account, or

  2. If, after we have done our best to contact you, we can't refund your Angel Credit because your credit card or account details have changed, or you haven't provided us with an alternate way to pay you, we will deliver wine to the value of your Angel Credit to the address you last advised us; and

  3. If we can’t deliver to that address because you have moved, or there is no-one at that address to accept delivery of the wine, you acknowledge that we will donate that wine to a registered charity, who can use the wine for their fundraising. This way everyone benefits.

What does Angel exclusive mean? Angel exclusive means that Angels will always get first dibs on all new products as soon as they hit the store (usually around four weeks). Once Angels have had first dibs, the product will be released to all customers to purchase at the list price, however Angels will always have first dibs.

Wine Genie

  1. Our Wine Genie service is the perfect solution for busy folk who’d like someone to do their wine shopping for them.

  2. It’s our job to make sure you have a wine rack full of wines you’re going to love, and as a Wine Genie member, you get a credit back to your account for any you don’t.

  3. You can sit back and let us do everything for you, or you can be really specific if you like.

  4. The sit back route:

    • Pop you name on the Wine Genie list

    • We’ll send you a case of wines to get you started

    • If we know what you like, we’ll customise the wines to your taste…

    • ...if not, we’ll send you some crowd-pleasing customer favourites

    • You drink them (the hard part)

    • You rate them (with just a couple of clicks)

    • We’ll credit your Angel account for any bottles you don’t enjoy

    • And when you’re running low, we’ll send you your next case based on your feedback and preferences

  5. The more specific route:

    • All of the above! But you can hop online and give us more specific instructions:

      • How frequently you want to receive a case (every 1, 2 or 3 months)

      • Whether you want to receive a mixed, all red or all whites case

      • An indication of the kind of price you’re comfortable paying

      • How many bottles you’d like to receive in each case (6, 12 or 14).

  6. We’ll send your wine to your default delivery address (which you can update at any time here).

  7. If the timing isn't right, you’re welcome to postpone or skip your case. Plus, if you don’t like the sound of the wines we’ve chosen for you, you can edit your case online or by contacting our Customer Happiness Team before we send them out.

  8. There are no tie-ins or contracts, and you can cancel your Wine Genie membership at any time. Plus our usual 100% hassle-free guarantee applies i.e. you only pay for wines you love.

  9. We also reserve the right to cancel your Wine Genie membership at any point if we don't think we're right for one another.

  10. For our full standard terms and conditions, please take a look here.

What will my Wine Genie cases cost?

When you pop your name down for Wine Genie, we’ll ask you the average amount you typically spend on a bottle: between $8.99 and $10.99, between $11.00 and $15.99, or over $16 , and every time you need a top up, we’ll suggest a case we think you’ll love based on these price-points and your personal preferences. If the price of the recommended case is too much (or too little), we can change your case for you.

What’s the delivery charge?

Your standard delivery costs apply to Wine Genie cases.

What if I want to change the frequency or size of my cases?

You can change the case size, type, frequency and price-settings of your Wine Genie cases in your account page here. Or you can drop us a line and we’ll do it for you.

How are you so confident you’ll send me wines I’m going to love?

Every time you tell us whether you’d buy one of our wines again via our website or app, we get to know your tastes a bit better. If you’ve been with us for a while, our whizzy algorithm does all the thinking for you, based on your personal wine preferences, and picks wines you’ve told us you love OR with a similar style profile. Equally, it avoids wines you’ve told us you didn’t enjoy - and those that are similar.

If you’re new to Naked Wines, the more you tell us what you enjoy, the better the recommendations get! So please download our app or hop onto My Account > Wine Profile to fill in your Wine Profile. And don’t forget to give each wine you try a rating.

N.B. Our app is currently available to Angels only.

Will I still get all of my Angel perks alongside my Wine Genie cases?

If you’re an Angel, you’ll only ever pay Angel prices - both on your Wine Genie cases and any ad-hoc purchases. Plus, you’ll still be offered a Thank You bottle every month (which you’re welcome to claim on non-Wine Genie orders as usual), get first dibs on new releases and keep all your other perks.

Anti-Slavery and Human trafficking policy

Majestic Wine PLC maintains a diverse supply chain across a number of geographic areas, as well as directly employing over 1500 people worldwide. As a Group we are committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Californian Transparency in Supply Chain Act of 2010 (TISCA) and to doing everything we can to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our businesses and across our supply chains.

We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking.

Our Anti-Slavery Statement:

“As part of our Company mission ‘To Do the Right Thing for our People, Customers and Suppliers’ we oppose modern slavery in all its forms and will try to prevent it by any means that we can. We expect anyone who has any suspicions of modern slavery in our business or our supply chain to raise their concerns without delay. We promise that we will keep any information provided completely confidential.”

1. Structure and Supply Chains

Our Structure

Majestic Wine PLC is a leading wine retailer with four divisions: Majestic Wine Retail, Majestic Commercial, Naked Wines and Lay & Wheeler. The Company is based in the UK and has operations in the UK, France, USA and Australia. Group turnover for the year ended 02 April 2018 was just below $857m. For more information on our Group please visit: Our group at a glance

Our Supply Chains

Our Group purchases goods and services from a wide range of providers located across differing geographic areas. By value the largest part of our supply chain is wine which comes from a mix of developed and developing economies around the world. As well as wine, we purchase goods and services to support our operations around the word ranging from staff uniforms and printed marketing materials to consultancy and facilities management services.

Within our retail business our staff are predominantly permanent employees. The nature of our business is such that employees are required to work “out of office” hours and over weekends. Working hours are agreed between managers and staff. We do not utilise zero hours’ contracts. We are of the view that our policy in no way contravenes the principles which support the individuals’ right to offer their services in exchange for a fair wage.

We recognise our supply chain as our biggest risk area for exposure to modern slavery. We operate in a sector where our suppliers may make use of seasonal workers employed on a variety of types of contracts. This is a high risk area in terms of the legislation. In the developing economies, or where there are large numbers of unskilled and/or unemployed workers, there may also be an enhanced risk for abuse.

2. Risk Mapping Process

As a result, we are committed to developing a detailed risk mapping process, together with the required mitigation and intervention strategies, to adequately address our obligations. To this end we have already developed an action plan, with realistic time lines for implementation.

This process will include a determination as to which parts of our business and suppliers are considered to represent the highest risk of modern slavery taking into consideration the locations they are based in, the types of labour they utilise and the services provided to our Group.

3. Policies and Commitments

We expect high standards and transparency from inside our own businesses as well as from all our contractors, suppliers and other business partners. We expect our suppliers to hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.

Our commitments:

  • To prohibit use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children;

  • All team members must familiarise themselves with our procedures to help in the identification and prevention of modern slavery;

  • We will review our supply base to identify high risk areas which raise concern against our “Doing the Right Thing” standards.

  • We have identified a number of policies which will underpin and support our commitments and have developed and implemented a Code of Conduct and Whistle Blowing Policy. The consideration of additional supporting policies will form part of our risk process as part of the required mitigation actions.

4. Training Processes

We understand that we need to raise awareness of modern slavery within our own business as well as amongst our supply chain, including a process which is available to report transgressions.

We will endeavour to work with suppliers identified as “at risk” following our assessment process so as to train them and provide capacity building within the relevant structures to address the problem. As part of this strategy, we will also attempt to work with groups at risk within the labour grouping to ensure they are made aware of their rights.

5. Actions to address modern slavery or human trafficking

Risk Management

Our current action plans include a risk assessment process together with mitigation and prevention outcomes.

Whistle Blowing

We promise to unconditionally protect any legitimate whistle blowers within or outside our organisation. Concerns about suspected modern slavery associated with the Company or our suppliers may be reported via the process set out below.

Anyone may submit a complaint or tip off via our hotline - speakup@majestic.co.uk

All reports of suspicious activity are kept in the strictest confidence. The source of reports will be kept confidential, save to the extent that our maintaining that secrecy or the anonymity of the source is not permitted by law, or is not consistent with our maintaining our adequate procedures. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our own business or in any of our supply chains. Please cross refer to our Whistle Blowing Policy.

Employees should in the first instance approach their Divisional Director/MD or contact the confidential email contact on speakup@majestic.co.uk as per our Whistle Blowing Policy. The Director will then escalate this further and the course of action will depend on the nature of the complaint.

The Company encourages members of the public or people not employed by us to write, in confidence, to our hot line, our Company Secretary or Group Controls Manager at our headquarters at Majestic House to raise any concern, issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any part of our business or related supply chain.

Employees should take action in the following circumstances:

  • where they suspect a person acting on behalf of Majestic Wine PLC or one of our businesses is seeking to exploit another in a way which could amount to modern slavery;

  • where they suspect that a person acting on behalf of one of our suppliers is seeking to exploit another in a way which could amount to modern slavery;

  • where they have received an approach from a person acting on behalf of Majestic Wines PLC or one of our businesses who has invited you to participate in acts which could result in offences under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 being committed;

  • where they have information which leads to the rational conclusion that a person acting on behalf of Majestic Wine PLC or one of our businesses or suppliers is preparing to commit, is committing or has committed an act in contravention of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

6. Engagement with Stakeholders

Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery will be communicated to all suppliers, contractors and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as appropriate thereafter. We expect all our people to have read and be aware of this statement.

We will include in the directors’ report accompanying our Annual Report a reference to the Company’s Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement, which will be presented on our PLC website post the year end. This statement will also be available on our PLC website.

Pre-orders

We occasionally invite you to pre-order wines that are currently out of stock, or new exciting wines that will be added to our range.

We typically ask you to put down a $10 deposit to secure 6 bottles. This will appear just like any regular order would, in your order history.

You can pay your deposit using your registered card or any cash in your Naked Wines account (you can’t use vouchers or account credits).

When the wine is ready to ship, we’ll email you to let you know and tell you when it’s due and how much balance you owe (which you’ll pay when we ship you the wine).

If you’ve changed your mind, you can cancel your order and we’ll give you your $10 deposit back.

Our 100% hassle-free guarantee still applies to pre-ordered wines, so if you don’t enjoy it, or it’s faulty, just let us know and we’ll add a credit to your Naked account.

Please note, pre-order delivery dates are estimates and subject to change. If there’s a delay, we’ll let you know by email.

Our standard delivery charges apply.

Invite

Recommending a friend

  1. Every Angel can send a welcome offer to their friends who don't currently shop with Naked Wines, via email, Facebook and Twitter. The current welcome offer is $100 off the first case (12 bottles) of Naked Wines.

  2. You can send the offer to as many friends as you like, as often as you like, but your friends will only be able to redeem the deal if they're new to Naked Wines.

  3. By inviting a friend, you confirm you have their consent for us to email them an invitation with a unique link to the offer, plus one reminder. They have 30 days to claim - after that, we'll delete their data.

  4. If your friend decides to take up the offer, they're under no obligation to buy again or become an Angel (but we will invite them to become one!)

  5. For every friend that orders off the back of your invite, we will credit your Naked Wines account with $30 as soon as their order is shipped.

  6. This $30 credit can be used against any products on the website.

  7. N.B. If you decide to cancel your Naked Wines account, any referral credit you've accumulated won't be refunded to you.

  8. Naked Wines reserves the right to withdraw or revoke the $30 credit offer or change the amount of the credit at any time, if it determines that the 'Invite a friend' offer is being abused or it is appropriate to do so.

  9. The case cannot be shipped to the Northern Territory, sorry.

To the person receiving an invite:

  1. If you're new to Naked Wines, you're welcome to redeem the $100 wine voucher offer sent to you by an existing Naked Wines customer against 12 or more bottles of Naked wines with a minimum value of $155.88. You must be over 18 years old.

  2. If you've been invited, we'll send you an email invite with a link to the offer, and one further email reminder. If you don't claim the offer, we'll remove your information from our database after 30 days.

  3. Delivery charges, where applicable, are not included.

  4. The deal cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or voucher.

  5. If you take up the offer, you're under no obligation to buy again or become an Angel (i.e. a member), but we will invite you to become one.

  6. If you do decide to order and you don't like the wines, our 100% hassle-free guarantee still applies - just let us know and we'll add a credit for the price paid to your account to put towards another order.
