Buy it online. You'll have a better selection. Plan on spending from
$1,500 up to $15,000 for a bottle. Unless you or the reciepient are
under thirty, you should buy a bottle that's at least ten years old at
a minimum as Petrus requires about twenty years generally to be at
it's best under good storage conditions. Check at www.winesearcher.com
Other than through a private cellar you will have a hard time finding
a bottle in Birmingham as most Petrus never makes it out of the major
US markets (NYC, Chicago, Las Vegas, etc.)

Good advice here. I think in Alabama you can have wine shipped to your
local ABC?
