Located in Ceptura de Jos, Romania, Crama Ceptura was founded in 2003, when the domain was acquired by Moldovan winemaker Victor Bostan, thus becoming part of the Purcari Group. The construction of the winery was started in 2004, and important investments were made in the modernization of the winemaking equipment. Already in 2005, the first batch of wine called Crama Ceptura Winery was delivered to the market. The estate now covers an area of about 13 hectares, with a production of 10,000 tons of grapes per season.
Wine Crime Rosé is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, obtained from grapes harvested and selected by hand. Its color is the result of an early pressing of the grapes after a very short period, usually a few hours, of contact with the skins.
This young and lively wine has a bright pink color with a clear appearance. The nose is charming, with a bouquet composed of aromas of red and exotic fruit and peony flowers. It is round, velvety, wide and full-bodied, comforting and lively, with good acidity, which supports a structure based on freshness and elegance. The finish is reminiscent of blueberries and raspberries.
Serve it well fresh, along with fish dishes, appetizers, salads, fresh cheeses, and desserts such as cheesecakes or fruit tarts.

As someone who has been ordering wine online regularly (22 orders and dozens of bottles since 2022), I have long appreciated 8Wines for offering access to interesting international labels and boutique styles that aren’t always readily available locally. However, a platform's true character isn't revealed when everything goes right; it's tested when a high-value bottle arrives compromised, and that is where 8Wines falls remarkably short. Over the last few years, I’ve spent well over €3,500 with 8Wines. When you spend consistently on a platform, you expect a baseline of mutual trust, especially when purchasing premium bottles where structural integrity is everything. Unfortunately, encountering damaged or flawed bottles on two separate occasions has brought to light a rigid, customer-unfriendly claims policy. A bottle of Susana Balbo Signature Malbec arrived completely cooked and oxidized. Despite detailing the structural defects, the customer service team deflected responsibility, demanded unreasonable layers of proof, and ultimately offered reward points rather than issuing a proper refund or replacement. One year later, another bottle, this time a high-end wine - the Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon arrived leaking in the box with visible stain traces under the capsule. Upon opening, the cork failure was undeniable, and the wine showed the distinct, flat overcooked notes of premature oxidation rather than its intended opulent fruit profile. Instead of acknowledging that cork failure and transport leakage, the 8Wines’ support team engaged in gaslighting. They attempted to lecture about the "jammy profile of the Wagner family." They argued that a leaking, stained bottle with a dry cork and premature oxidation was normal. Rather than standing behind the quality of their high-end stock, 8Wines offered a standard deflection playbook: no blame accepted, no refund given, and a small allocation of reward points thrown in as an appeasement. For a loyal customer who has spent thousands on the platform, being compensated with virtual points for a cooked, expensive wine is a disappointing resolution. Final Verdict 8Wines has an attractive catalogue and smooth shipping logistics when bottles survive the trip intact. But if you gamble on buying expensive, premium bottles here, be aware that you carry all the financial risk. If a cork fails or a bottle cooks in transit, don't expect a refund, expect a corporate email trying to convince you that flawed wine is just part of the "winemaker's style," followed by a handful of reward points to close the ticket, that if you insist upon, otherwise you will be left empty handed. Moving forward, I will reserve my purchases for everyday, lower-risk bottles, and buy any high-end, premium investments strictly from physical storefronts where visual inspection and immediate returns are actually honored.
