GENERAL INFO
Wine Collective Direct is powered by nzwinehome.
WCD's sister company, nzwinehome, has partnered with hundreds of producers across NZ for their Direct to International Consumer export needs for almost two decades.
Built on this strong foundation, WCD delivers an e-commerce platform for NZ producers to sell premium wine directly to consumers overseas, with the trusted partner of nzwinehome to manage the compliance, fulfilment, and freight to international destinations across the globe.
No, Wine Collective Direct is open to any producer or winery that wishes to sell wine directly to consumers overseas.
The simple set up process involves: providing your company information, setting up your e-cellar door and wines/pricing. In total, this may take around 30 mins - 1 hour.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION & E-CELLAR DOOR
Please navigate to the Registration Page, and select an option:

YES - Existing nzwinehome customer account details will be pulled across into your WCD account, and you'll automatically be sent to your dashboard upon logging in. From there, you can begin to set up your e-cellar door and wines.
NO - For new Producers, once you provide account details, we will approve your account within approx 1-2 days. Upon approval, you'll receive a notification to log in and complete setting up your e-cellar door.
As a simplified shipping solution: there is no cost for Producers to establish their e-Cellar Door and no success fees/commissions applied to producer sales.
As is standard practice across all modes of freight forwarding & courier activities. Expenses related to the compliance clearing and wide-ranging global handling surcharges are always the responsibility of the products owner.
In completing the personal export & import ‘on behalf’ of end customer, the products owner. WCD incurs and directly pays a range of shipping related surcharges and compliance expenses. Without following this process the end customer would invariably encounter significant disruption, and incur considerable extra costs to complete their international wine delivery.
As a positive of the WCD model, to avoid the experience of deciphering constantly changing surcharges, taxes, duties and compliance clearance costs. WCD deducts 8.65% as cost recovery from the producers net sales proceeds. Producers at their discretion can incorporate these genuine shipping related costs into their pricing model.
