Sorry Joan,
My reply was not meant to be mean spirited as I actually don't know much about wine other than if I like one I will drink it again and am not an expert on transport or customs. I was giving you a one line from my recent experience in Sardinia where every bottle of wine, red and white, that we tasted was great and with a good price. 10 dollars a bottle. I assumed the one (Argiolas vineyard by the way) I was drinking was local and not to be seen again....low and behold they had many from the same vineyard on the shelf at the Duty Free. I also found one bottle of the same brand at my local store here in Sweden. That is why I said to buy it at the Duty Free- only a one line abbreviated version.
You will find some friendly folks on the boards too. I hope you come back again.

Sherry country is a lot of fun - I have done it twice. In Sanlucar, they claim that the manzanilla tastes different there (meaning while you are drinking it there) than when you take the bottle out of the microclimate and drink it elsewhere. Plus you can buy the stuff fresh out of the barrels (BYOB if you want) and drink it right away - get some local seafood and have a picnic! it's dirt cheap and so tasty.
