Rozzy, first, welcome to the the wine board. Second, my son manages a couple wine shops in England but does not communicate via e-mail so I must send your request snail mail. But, before I do you need to come back to the board after reading the rest of this gibberish. Shipping wine from Europe is about four time more expensive than shipping to Europe and much redtape needs preparing to satisfy US Customs, which also discourages the sender.
Basically it boils down to; there is not enough profit to make the hassle worth the while. Are you willing to pay that much extra to get it to your fair state?
