Christmas and New Year 2025 logistics: warehouse closures, courier lead times and order deadlines to guarantee Wine Terroir Import deliveries.
Operational information for Wine Terroir Import's Horeca and B2B customers
The period between Christmas and New Year is one of the most delicate times of the year for wine trade logistics, especially for the Horeca channel. Higher volumes, congested courier networks and scheduled warehouse closures all call for careful order planning.
In this article we aim to provide clear, practical guidance on Wine Terroir Import's Christmas and New Year 2025 logistics, so that restaurants, wine bars, hotels and professional buyers can plan ahead without any problems.
Wine Terroir Import warehouse closures: dates for your diary
Over the winter holidays, our warehouse will observe a number of scheduled closures, which are needed to ensure an efficient return to service in the new year.
The warehouse will be closed on the following days:
25 and 26 December 2025
1, 2, 5 and 6 January 2026
On these dates no shipments will be dispatched and no orders will be prepared.
Orders and deliveries before Christmas: the cut-off date
For deliveries before Christmas, it is essential to take into account courier lead times during the peak period.
👉 To ensure delivery by 24 December 2025, we ask that orders be received no later than 12 December 2025.
Orders placed after this date:
will be processed as usual,
but delivery before Christmas cannot be guaranteed, owing to couriers' operational constraints.
This is particularly relevant for:
regular Horeca supplies,
seasonal wine lists,
corporate gifts and special selections.
Deliveries between Christmas and New Year: service guaranteed
For deliveries intended for the New Year period (for example, wines for New Year's Eve dinners, events or special services), the situation is different.
✅ Deliveries before New Year remain operational, subject to:
product availability,
normal transit times,
couriers' operating windows.
We nevertheless recommend not leaving it until the last few days, to reduce the risk of delays caused by the logistical congestion typical of the end of the year.
Full service resumes in 2026
Wine Terroir Import's logistics operations will return to full normal service from 7 January 2026.
From this date:
the warehouse will be fully operational,
shipments and deliveries will follow standard lead times,
normal sales support activities will resume.
Why plan your year-end logistics in good time
Properly managing Christmas and New Year 2025 logistics allows all B2B operators to:
avoid running out of stock at the busiest times,
ensure continuity in their drinks offering,
work with greater peace of mind over the holidays.
Wine Terroir Import is always on hand to help customers with order planning, in a spirit of collaboration and operational reliability.
