What happens if the price has changed?

In­-Store Purchases: If the price changes between the time you purchased a product and the time you return it (provided the return is made within 14 days of purchase), the difference, based on the amount indicated on your receipt, will be applied toward your new purchase that day. No refunds will be issued.

If the item was purchased more than 14 days ago and the item carries a manufacturer’s warranty, customers must follow the manufacturer’s warranty instructions. We will gladly provide any information you require.


Bag-in-Box Wines

What is the return policy for Bag-­in-­Box wines?

Due to the nature of Bag-­in-­Box packaging, we are unable to easily discern saleability and product integrity after the product has been removed from our stores. Magnotta cannot offer exchanges on these products.

Since batch variations can occasionally occur, we recommend you taste any of our Bag­-in­-Box wines prior to purchase at any of our complimentary in­-store tasting bars.

Please Note: Bag-­in­-Box wines cannot be returned on the basis of personal taste preferences. Our on-­site specialists will gladly assist you in the selection of a wine that is right for you.


Gift Cards

Gift cards are redeemable for any Magnotta product or merchandise at any Magnotta location or online shopping. They cannot be returned for cash or replaced if lost or stolen. Please protect your gift cards like cash.


​Quality Assurance

Magnotta is committed to providing the highest quality products available. All of our products are tested by accredited government laboratories as well as by our own testing facilities. If you have concerns about any Magnotta product, you may bring it into any of our locations for a product assessment. Should our Quality Control Lab Analysis indicate a problem, the item will be exchanged.

A faulty product must be returned for our assessment immediately upon discovery. If the majority of the product has been consumed, the return will not be accepted.

Online Customers: Please contact our online customer service department (1-­800­-461.WINE or online@magnotta.com) to make alternate arrangements. Should our Quality Control Lab Analysis indicate a problem, the item will be exchanged and we will cover any applicable shipping charges.

Please Note: Individual flavour profiles, tartrates, wine crystals, natural sedimentation and tannin deposits are not considered to be wine defects.
