Hello, wine experts!
I'd like to send wine as a gift to someone in Connecticut, but all online wine retailers I checked do not ship to Connecticut. Why? How can I get wine shipped to Connecticut?
Thank you, Elana
Hi,
For one CT booze laws only allow the sale of booze during the week and Sat only. Also can not sell to minors...and shipment can be delivered to minors.
I am in Fairfield CT and would be happy to help if i can?

WElcome to the world of wine and the draconian US laws of shipment. In all too many states it is a criminal act to ship (and often to receive) wine. Protection of minors repeatedly comes from the lips of politicians, but not too many minors are A. short on alcohol from other sources, or B buy qulaity wines for their Friday night parties. No the answer lies with the protection of the liquor wholesalers who are today's direct descendants of the Bootleggers of the 30's. Though they no longer have to dodge the feds, they still look out for their money with a tight fist.

Via well funded "lobbying" and politicians willing to be "influenced" by such "lobbying" - is that the way it goes?
Well, mark this as a COMMERCIAL REPLY, but we can legally ship wine to Connecticut:
