Sending wine from Italy to Spain?

No problem, you can ship wine as if it were any merchandise. Use the post, they have special boxes for wine. I have never had problems.

At the risk of starting one of our favorite agreement threads, US Law is still pretty much in the dark ages with regard to wine shipments, sorry I can't help onthe European issue.

Thanks, sounds like it won't be a big hassle.

Amazing ... so the U.S. still hasn't cleaned up its act in that area.

Sadly, one only has to travel outside the U.S. (and I don't mean Canada, they're just as bad) to see how third-world-like we really are in *many* areas.

Both countries are in the EU - European Union, so you just mail your bottle, well packaged of course. Anders

And, let me add: the maximum for such shipments is 60 or 90 litres (don't remember the exact figure right now), but even in excess of this, shipment is possible without any problem if you have proof of private consumption - e.g. when you buy 300 bottles of champagne for the wedding ceremony of your daughter with an attendence exceeding 200 people.

Now now Michael, you are not taking the proverbial p**s out of our transAtlantic cousins are you?

The federal government ceded responsibility for managing the distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages to the states some 70 years ago. As a result, we have a hodge-podge of varying and conflicting laws regulating it. The feds have neither a mandate nor motivation to clean it up. We do actually derive some benefits from the tension between the feds and states, but as a wine-lover this is certainly not one of them!
