Shipping in Summer

[winophite]

While a mere novice I may be, here's my thoughts. The containers I've recieved have indeed been insulted with an expanded bead styro inner liner. I'm sure it helps with sudden temp changes although eventually the abient temp has to be achieved by the wine. The majority of these wines however are destined to remain in storage for several years, or minimally months so the shipping date becomes kind of moot for me, (granted I'm unable to afford the qnty I would like. The less pricey stuff I get from groceries, liquor and drug stores locally. They must utilize refridge trucks though since they get it year round.
I'm no chemist, but surely a bit of dry ice packed in with the wine carton leaving the wine wrapped with an inner insul to protect seems viable and inexpensive. Oh well, my simple thoughts from my simple mind [img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] WP
