Shipping your wine gift to the USA - Shipping wine to the United States

Do you want to send a wine gift to your family or a friend living in the Unites States? Do you want to thank a US customer or business partner with wine? You probably know that as a non-licensed individual, you are not allowed to ship wine or any other alcohol to the United States either by mail or by an international carrier such as UPS, FedEx or DHL So how can you ship wine as a gift to the USA?

Entrust your wine gift to La Bouteille Dorée

At La Bouteille Dorée (aka The Golden Bottle), we will ship the wine on your behalf.

We do much more than just ship: we specialize in the design, selection, and delivery of wine gift boxes to individuals and businesses. Based in Paris, France, we hold an inventory of over 1,000 different wine references from selected French and world-renowned producers and chateaux, many of which are hard to find in the United States, including champagne, rare wines, old vintages, large bottle formats, etc. We also design hundreds of wine gift sets with our own branded wine boxes of one, two, three or six bottles and wooden boxes of one to twelve bottles. All our bottles of wine and champagne are carefully stored in perfect temperature and humidity conditions in our secured wine cellars in Paris and Bordeaux.

We will carefully wrap your wine or champagne bottles, add a gift card with your own message to the recipient, pack your wine gift with the utmost care to avoid damage, and finally ship your package.

US regulations are complex, including wine label compliance, export documents (DAE, Prior Notice, invoices) and FDA registration. With the help of our expert wine shipping partner, we take care of all the trouble of shipping wine to the United States and are committed to providing you with a hassle-free experience.

We can offer many French wines from all regions of France including Alsace, Beaujolais, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc, Loire, Provence, Rhone, etc. You will find the wine adapted to your budget and to the amateur, enthusiast or connoisseur for whom the gift is intended: red, rosé or white wines, dry or sparkling, young or old, from independent producers to "grand crus classés", in bottles of 75cl, 1.5l magnums or large formats of 3 liters and more.
