Shipping wine from Italy?
Is there any cost-friendly way to ship wine from Italy to the US? I’ve heard that there are some wineries that ship three bottles for 45 euro. Does anyone know of a winery like this or even a shipping service that can ship a few bottles for around 70-80 euro?

you can’t ship wine over international borders privately
your only option is to get the winery’s distributor to ship it to a distributor in your location in the US, and then have that distributor give it to a local retailer.
there are too many laws about dealers/distributors and legal transactions to be able to do this any other way.
since it doesn’t sound like you are asking for a specific winery… its best to just go to a large store in your location and look at their selection of Italian wines, which likely will be less expensive then the same wines being shipped from Italy for you.
Did You look to see if such wines are available in the US perhaps from an online store ? The shipping cost would be quite less.
What sort of wine ?
there are so many good wines imported to the US already…do you really need to get one shipped special??
