Worcester Wine Gift Delivery Tips
College students
Most Worcester's colleges students are under 21, and wine can only be delivered to someone 21 or older with ID. Wine gifts are better for faculty, staff, parents and graduates.
Walk-ups and triple-deckers
Many residents live in walk-up apartments or triple-deckers where packages are left in a shared hallway. Wine needs a signature, so include the unit number and pick a day when the recipient will be home.
Steep hills
Worcester's hills can be icy in winter. Confirm the address and allow extra time after a storm.
Nor'easters and cold
Winter storms can slow deliveries, and freezing temperatures can damage wine left outside. From December through March, pick a day when someone can sign and bring it inside.
Hospitals
UMass Memorial and Saint Vincent may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
Events
WooSox games and events at the DCU Center slow traffic downtown. Weekday deliveries are easier.
