Affiliate disclosure

Last updated 9 November 2026

A clear word about how PourWaiter is paid when you buy through some of our links — in line with UK advertising rules (ASA/CAP).

We may earn a commission

Some "Buy" buttons and retailer links on PourWaiter are affiliate links. If you click one and go on to buy, PourWaiter may earn a small commission from the shop or from an affiliate network. That is how we help keep Laurent pouring recommendations.

It does not change the price you pay

Affiliate commission is paid by the retailer (or network), not by you. Using an affiliate link does not make the product more expensive than buying directly from the same shop without our link.

Links are marked as ads

Under ASA/CAP guidance, marketing communications must be obviously identifiable as such. We label affiliate links with an Ad marker (or similar wording such as "#ad" / "affiliate links") near the recommendation or buy button. If something is an ad, we say so.

Recommendations are not bought

Laurent's pairing suggestions are meant to suit your dish, board, budget and the season — not whichever shop pays the most. Affiliate relationships never decide which bottle or beer we think is the right match. Where we feature a paid merchant listing in future, that will be labelled clearly too.

Illustrative examples

Prices and shops shown in sample chats and combo cards on the marketing site are often illustrative — made up to show the experience. They are not live offers and may not be affiliate links yet. When real affiliate programmes are live, those buy links will carry the Ad label.

Third-party sites

When you leave PourWaiter for a retailer's site, their terms, privacy policy and cookie practices apply. We are not responsible for their content or checkout.
