Shipping wine

[Tiki Tiki Tembo]

Can I buy a wine through a wine store and either have it delivered or shipped to a friends home?

[Jerry D Mead]

It may sound like your question is simple, but it is actually very complicated.

It depends on where your friend lives, where the store is, and specifically where the store is in relationship to your friend.

Washington is a so-called reciprocal state, but only between wineries not retail stores.

Washington retail stores can, I believe, ship to Washington residents but not to most other states.
