Unfortunately each state in the US has a different law concerning shipment into that state. As explained earlier, Florida allows shipment IF the out of state shipper has a license either direct of a distributor.

I lived in Germany for several years and became attached to the lighter German wines. Also, I remember some very good red wines from the Heilbronn and Stuttgart areas. Would love to find some here in Central Florida.

My understanding was that we can purchase wines over the Internet, but the
companies we purchase from must be licensed to sell in the state we
live. Additionally many states have strange laws that limit quantities or
prohibit residents from receiving alcohol shipments without special
licenses or at all.
