You may have experienced the frustration of being a wine-loving Canadian. You finally get on the mailing list of your favourite cult US winery – only to find that they don’t ship to Canada. You track down a rare bottle on an American retailer’s site or win an online auction – but they won’t get your wine across the border for you. As far as I know, it’s not illegal to ship wine from the US to Canada, but if you try to get FedEx or UPS to do just that they generally won’t touch it with a ten foot pole. I have heard of the odd case where people have successfully had bottles sent to them up here, but I’ve never had any luck with it myself. So I decided to do it a different, admittedly less convenient, but far more fruitful way. Here’s how.
Canadians: Want to be on a US winery mailing list? It’s possible, but complicated.
