Default Shipping wine?

My friend use to purchase wine while visiting countries all over the world.
He would
invariably place labels on the boxes in big letters the word "vinegar".
Some of it turned
out to be just that, but most was superb.

I only make it home about once a year most times(going to try for twice
next year, but one time I'll be flying, so won't be able to bring any wine
gback). Everyone in my family is a wine drinker to some extent, so with
this new hobby, I'm going to try to bring back wines for each of them that
they may or may not like. But with allt he variety I've made, I'll only be
bringing a bottle or two ofeach type of wine at most per person. So if
they find any they particularly like, I'm trying to figure out if there's
some way for me to shipthem more of it in the interim between my visits, or
if I just have to wait until next time I see them. I'd haev to be shipping
from OK to IL. I'd guess it's probably easiest to shipa whole case, but I
don't know anything on legality(I'll look into that myself, though any tips
would be appreciated), best shipping company, packaging, etc. Any help on
this would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to tell me that
shipping tends to be outweighed by the risks, and just to wait.
