Shipping wines from US to EU Hi, Mike - Things have changed a lot over the past couple of years. In early 2002 I shipped a half case of wine to Ian's by air carrier for ~$70. It was a lot easier than carrying it with me on the plane, and not horribly expensive. Nowadays, however, it has become not only prohibitively expensive to ship wine; it is nearly *impossible*. Just carry it with you. Hire bearers and pay the extra luggage fee if there is one. Just don't waste your efforts on any plonk! There are no export tariffs that I know of. Import is on your side, so that's up to you to check out. :^) Au contraire. Read above. If you simply can't stand to pay the excess baggage fee, I'll be glad to Tom S P.S. - An alternative idea just occurred to me: Arrange things so that the only luggage you have with you is the wine! Leave all the clothes and toiletries in your San Diego office. Send the clothes out for cleaning and get one of your minions to pick them up and leave them in your office. Then you won't have to pack for your next trip. You'll then have the space to bring a couple of cases of European wine this way. Think bicoastal. Well... sort of.
