Alcoholic beverages are sold, delivered and released only to persons aged 18 or over.
Before the sale of alcoholic beverages and receipt of payment in the online store, the purchaser’s identity and age are verified using electronic identification methods compliant with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Latvia.
When alcoholic beverages are delivered by courier, the courier will require the purchaser to present a valid identity document in order to verify the purchaser’s identity and age.

Alcoholic beverages may not be:
- left at the door or in another unattended location;
- handed over to a minor;
- handed over without the identity and age verification required by applicable legislation.
If the Customer chooses delivery to a parcel terminal, alcoholic beverages will be released only after the electronic identity and age verification required by applicable legislation has been completed.
