Ship your wine gift in the proper packaging.
Mature wine lovers enjoy trying different blends from vineyards all over the world. When you find that just right wine, you want to send it to friends and family. Send your wine gifts safely and securely by packaging and shipping them properly. Local and state laws regulate which states can receive wine gifts. Check to see if the state you are sending the wine gift to is a legal state to receive it. An adult must sign for your wine gift, so make arrangements accordingly.
Instructions
1. Verify that the state you are shipping to will allow the entry of alcohol. Some states forbid or have restrictions as to what type of spirits are received. Ask your postal service provider for details on the alcohol list.
2. Buy a wooden wine box from a local wine dealer. Bring the dimensions of your wine bottle with you to insure that your wine box will fit over your bottle snugly.
3. Wrap your wine bottle with tissue paper. Place your wine bottle inside the wooden wine box. Close the lid.
4. Place the wooden box inside a corrugated cardboard box. Tape the top and bottom closed with wide packing tape.
5. Lay the package down horizontally. Place an address label with your information on the upper left hand part of the box.
6. Place the address label in the center of the box, below and to the right of the return address label. Include name, address, city, state and zip code information.
7. Purchase the insurance the USPS offers you along with a tracking number. Pay the postage, insurance and the tracking fee.
