Here goes that patience thing again! I have developed patience for making wine but while learning that I lost patience for just about everything else!

I would love to do this, but you are forgetting one huge detail. It is illegal to ship alcohol across state lines if you are not a licensed vendor. Trust me,I tired yesterday. Edited by: Scubaman2151

I believe it was Paul & John wrote "We can work it out" Not that Paul & John, theboys from Liverpool.

Lol, thats what PolishwinePrincess told me.

 

[s.arkvinomaker]

I would be interested. I found packing real well and putting nothing on outside of box but the addresses has worked best coming from a state that doesn't allow outside winery's to ship in state.

Wade, lockdude, jobe05, you guys in or out? 4 days to go and sign up will close.


Took my wife out to a nice place to eat last night, and decided I needed to expand my knowledge of wine by having a glass with my meal which was shrimp & pasta dish, so I ordered a $6 glass ofMerlot.The gal brought me out a glass of red wine, and as we chated a bit about wine, and my attempt at making wine she offered to save me wine bottles, andshe & her hubby also hada lot of grapes in the back of their house. So.. I now have two sources of grapes for the picking for next year. The bill was $37+ tip but darn well worth it, ah the wine about a 4 on a scale of 10.

I always send fresh Juice.......... I think if they knowingly accept my juice, they should provide a method as to not have it start fermenting during shipment.

I know they don't......................

Thats why I try to protect them with the proper "Future" labeling and throw 12%ABV on there just in case they need it........ you know.......... because of their screw up on not protecting my juice...............

Wish I could take the wife out and get away with a $37.00 bill. Our bar bill aloneis usually double that.

I am interested in your project. Add me to your list.

 

[jobe05]

[Wade E]

After the mishap I had shipping JW's box, I am now double boxing most all of my shipments. Joan's was most poorly packaged, but I ran out of package material.

I sent Wildridge, Waldo, JW and Joan some here on the forum, 3 family members, 2 in NY and one in Georgia. When I talked to mu cousin in GA., he said his father did nothing but talk about the one bottle of wine that I gave him a couple of years ago..... So my cousin said he boxed a bottle up from what I sent him and sent it to his father, as if it were coming from me........... Boy did I feel like a heel!

I forget to send my favorite uncle some wine............ sigh.......

So yesterday I did a huge box for him and shipped it off................... I not only felt bad that I forgot to send him any, I found out that because he is a retired Major, he gets a huge break on shipping, or anyone shipping him items, gets a huge break. His Huge box that weight close to 50 pounds cost a total of $12 to ship............. so not only can I ship him wine....... I can do it cheaply............ I have to do it more often.

Normally, each box cost between $15 to $24 to send, not including shipping material (From George) and a box (also from George)

i used to use the UPS Store and 1 day I went to Staples cause I needed to pick up some blank DVD's and disk labels and I had a package with me and said, why dont I just have them ship it and Im glad I did cause it was $6 cheaper for the same exact package as I sent you. Same box, same amount of wine, same everything and they didnt really bother to ask what was in there. I had to tell them it was glass and they stuck fragile stickers all over the box which the other place that was much more expensive didnt.

 

[bovinewines]

That's just perfect Jobe!

 

[Tomy]

So...Bovine you in

I live in a small town and the two grocery stores didn't have White Grape Raspberry Concentrate yesterday so had to use white Grape Juice instead for my next try at wine. Bummer
