Each state has its own restrictions when it comes to shipping wine.
Sending wine to a friend can be a bit tricky. Laws vary from state to state and shipping companies only allow certain distributors to ship wine legally. The United States post office strictly prohibits any type of alcohol to be shipped, including items shipped in alcohol boxes. Go through a licensed wine distributor to send wine with restrictions throughout the United States legally. These restrictions might include the number of bottles you can send, extra taxes on the shipment or where you can ship it.
Instructions
1. Know what state you want to ship the wine to. There are several restrictions and regulations throughout the states. Each one is different.
2. Research where you want to send the wine. Be sure to check which state the wine is coming from and which state it will arrive at.
3. Contact a winery or wine distributor that has a license with transporting wine through UPS or FedEx. If you don't have a transportation license, you cannot legally ship wine. You can find a licensed wine distributor online.
4. Give the wine distributor the details of the shipment either over the phone or online so the wine can be sent.
