IIRC, the reason that they do not ship is because it is illegal to ship alcohol through the USPS.
I think the same law applies to other carriers.
Probably a revenue issue.

I'll look for them at the class six tomorrow and post.

Could they not be shipped to a licensed vendor in another state? In the 80's, I could ship wine from the German Edward Kroth winery on the Mosel to my home town in NY, if I had a licensed vendor willing to take them. And $ was a big issue, including applicable taxes, the vendor's fee, etc., etc. It did cost, but for the late season wines, it was worth it to us.

Federal and state liquour laws are undecipherable! There is a bill before Congress that will ban small wineries from shipping wines to wine club members - brought forward by large liquor distributors. Our country is becoming, to quote Woody Allen, "a mockery of a sham"...
I do shipping for a living and unfortunately you cannot ship this through any of the carriers even if you are shipping to say a business with a license. :(
We constantly have to turn customers away that want to ship wine and such.

I ship alcohol all the time. As far as I can tell, no one ever checks the stuff or cares. I don't tell them what's in the package. :rolleyes:

What about those "Wine of the Month" clubs? How do they do it?

Yup. The liquor lobby has a stranglehold on Congress and many state legislatures. Here in CO you can only get 3.2 beer at the supermarket or convenience store. No wine or hard liquor. :mad:

In PA, you can only purchase wine/liquor from "State Stores" and beer from distributors or specific six-pack shops. No beer aisle in Walmart or the gas station. Now living out of state, I still get confused when I go to the supermarket and see alcohol for sale, having lived in PA for most of my life.

A wonderful specimen to celebrate a great thing!
As to the morass of laws permitting, or not, the shipment of liquor between free men...
almost sounds like something that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives would do. I'll bet they could find a way to collect a $200 "tax" stamp if they really wanted to - then again, there's always invocation of "interstate commerce" which is their other default excuse.
Sick situation, enabled by cowards.
