How to Travel With and Ship Wine

The shipping of Wine is a touchy subject. It would seem any way you go if you are going to cross state lines you are in danger of breaking the law. The old Prohibition laws are still indirectly on the books.

You can always go the under the table route, people always have, but know that a large part of the southeastern US considers the shipping of wine across stateliness a FELONY, "know before you go." Not a very exciting thought.

You can pack your wine as carefully as you would pack fine Chrystal, place it in plenty of shock absorbing material, wrap it in soft cloth and ship away. There are expensive wine containers you can buy, some are quite attractive and these can be shipped as luggage, but, that is your call.

Technically consumers cannot direct ship wine across state lines, at least not legally. However wine gift baskets seem to pass the test.

When traveling and going on a winetours holiday, always ask the winery or travel agency what the rules are for transporting wine. It would not be fun travel and to pay an airfare to Napa Valley and then not be able to get wine back from your vacation.
