I wanna send a case of wine to Oz

Anyone know of someone like Laithwaites/Direct Wines who will take an order from UK and deliver to Perth, Western Australia?

Thanks :D

    I would look for a more local supplier or you could end up paying well over the odds. Maybe google "wine delivery service Perth Australia"

    Tried that but I would like a recommendation really as they will all be unknown suppliers to me!

    Found this link http://www.internetwineguide.com/structure/ww/onlinesales/auasia/au/$au.htm

    There are so many great Australian wines around (says my OH) that it seems reasonable to send them something local! Use prices in your local supermarket to see if something is good value. Hardy's, Wolf Blass, Rosemount, Jacobs Creek and Lindemanns produce wines across a wide price range.

    I'd be contacting local wineries in Oz (I do realise you are here in UK but you might be able to contact them directly). Another Aussie winery which sells stuff over here and over there - is Brown Brothers (I think their winery is in the Canberra area if memory serves me correctly).

    Shipping wine is a bit like shipping coals to Newcastle though.

    I know, but my brother and his wife love the local Margaret River wines, and it is for an Xmas pressie - if someone in Newcastle LOVED coal you could still give it as a pressie. :grin: Thanks - I will look up Brown Brothers.
