Having wine shipped home??

[bucky1023]

My mom really loves a wine that she gets in Germany. I sometimes can find it at home, but not all the time.

I would like to buy her a case to have shipped home. Has anyone done this and is it even possible. I know that I can bring a bottle home in my bag, but then I have the risk of it breaking.

Any suggestions would be great!!!

It really depends on where you live. Some states do not allow wine to be shipped in, others do. Why don't you google for your state.

Before the no liquids rules, I had tremendous success carrying wine on the plane. Of course, that is no longer an option. I have carried a couple bottles home in my checked luggage and have had no problems so far. However, I do pack them extremely well in bubble wrap and plastic and not anywhere near clothes I would be upset if they were ruined.

Good luck.

My mother is from Germany, and when we were at WDW in November 2007, we went to get her some wine and have it shipped...unfortunately, Florida law prohibits them from doing so (at least that is what they told me). We were disappointed and out of luck!

I don't believe you can have any alcohol shipped to Michigan, either. The distributors here are an incredibly powerful lobbying force.

Thanks for the help. I will double-check the laws in NY and go from there.
