My brother has successfully shipped wine 2 out of three years to us (Florida
to Wisconsin). I think he sent us some last year, but something happened to
it, because it never got here. But that doesn't surprise me, the way he
ships it - no bubble wrap, no nothing, just 4 bottles in a box which can
only hold 4 bottles and a little cardboard between them.... I have yet to
try shipping wine, just because my luck as it is...it would never get there.
