Trying to export wine abroad, somebody interested ? Any advices ?

[the crackhouse]

As some of you may know, my wife and her father are vine-growers.
They do two AOC, a red wine (which have won some gold medals in france wine events) and a "white" wine (which is in it's first year of existence).

We are actually trying to find ways and people to export this wine abroad.

If you are interested, if you have any valuable contacts, let me know : idancetoomuch@hotmail.com
I can send you more infos if you're interested.

The wine is good, special, and named "The wine of the humanists" (if "humanists" is a correct word in english). It wears a particular story, in the way it is elaborated.

Thanks in advance for your possible responses.

Export it to Germany. They'll drink battery acid if someone tells them it's French.

Don't export it in Holland. They don't necessary love the french. ;) One of the prime ministers here once said "France is such a beautiful country, too bad the french live there" [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

Export it to me and I will tell you whether it's any good. I will need a few cases to be sure.

Ok, one record = one bottle.
Let's say I owe you 2 bottles for that superb UBQ. ;)

And when you'll be alcoholic, I'll ask for 5 recs for 1 bottle...

You'll like it when you'll get older...
Not kidding, you must have taste some awfull wine ! Californian wine as a lot of good productions, south america and french wine too, you have choice, and you shouldn't pass on this.
Lay off the beer ! Wine is better for your health (yeah, depends of how much...) and really has a personnal taste.

Oh, sorry JMJ, I didn't want to be disrespecting you.
I forgot your heineken religion doesn't allow you to drink wine.

Importing wine into the US is pretty complicated. Each state has its onw alcohol control board. I think you need to hook up with a distributor in order to get over here, especially if you are small.

You never responded a question I posed to you a while back? Where in France are you from? I am looking at moving to Lyon in 2-3 years. So I can drink your wine then :D

ps: GMAN, we need a wine drinking graemlin!
