Can you ship wine from Greece to the USA?

Each state has its own rules on the quantity allowed without a licence, and whether the shipment is for personal use is decided by customs on entry.

Customer reviews on Google
Amazing customer Service! I live in the UK and my family always sends me parcels from Greece by using Spourgitis Transport. It is so convenient and fast; they pick up the parcel from your address and then deliver it to your door. It's been over two years that we have been using their service and never used post office or other delivery methods again. Highly recommend them!
I have used Spourgitis for several deliveries between Italy and Greece and every time the service was fast and perfect. Even better the customer service that really helps you when needed.
Spourgitis Trans: Have used their services more than five times recently and will always go back to them. Easy to plan, calculate and have the parcels arrive in tact and on time. Thank you Spourgitis for giving me peace of mind when sending parcels to family abroad!
