However, from within the US the best way to go is putting the bottles in your checked luggage. Many California wineries will even give you a box with special foam inserts designed for shipping wine. If you visit some more well-known Italian wimeries I have to imagime they would offer the same. Basically every airline charges for checked bags but for us in MD that's really the only option (unless you have a friend out of state who will accept a shipment on your behalf). Just don't put it in your carry on, otherwise TSA will throw it out! I’ve never tried to bring wine back with me from overseas, and that may have customs implications.

But for more immediate gratification I will still be shopping at my local wine retailer. I in fact think most people will. For the average wine drinker it is just easier to go down the street and pick up a bottle anyway. This is why I think all the retailers are worrying a little too much. And as far as teenagers ordering this stuff, it is just crazy. Any teenager knows their are far easier ways to get alcohol. :-) I would love to be able to order online.
