Policies & FAQ
Excellent wine should be enjoyed more often, and to the last drop.
Usual takes the same artful approach to making real wine, but delivers it in generous single-serve glasses. No sweeteners, no flavorings, and no stale, re-corked bottles. Yes to sustainable farms, the best grapes in California, and a fresh glass every time.

Your wines will automatically be shipped each month on your membership processing date. Your membership will not renew after the 12 month prepaid duration. Please keep in mind that the Year of Usual is not eligible for cancellation or refunds. All sales are final.
What you're seeing are tartrates, they are completely normal and harmless. Tartaric acid is a harmless byproduct of natural winemaking. Their presence in a wine signifies that the wine was not treated with harsh chemicals and therefore, the natural polyphenols and aromas of the grapes and terroir are all unharmed. Tartrates will sometimes appear in our wines (especially during cold weather or extended cold storage), due to our minimal intervention winemaking techniques.
Our bottles are made of high-quality beverage-grade glass and are fully recyclable.
At this time, we offer select wholesale opportunities in California. Please email hello@usualwines.com and your request will be reviewed.
