Leaving for France this week. Does anyone have positive experience with shipping services for wine? I am worried about a case being handled roughly if I were to check it through my airline.

I am very curious about this as well. I anecdotally heard that if it is shipped then you have to pay additional import fees/ duties but was having a hard time confirming if that was actually true.

I'm going to France in the summer and want to bring a case or two back but also don't know how to beat handle it and potentially if the heat of being on the tarmac might do damage to the wine enough to make it not worth it

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
