    Are there any options for bringing some of my wine collection to CR other than me and my visitors packing 4 bottles of wine each when traveling? I don’t need to bring everything since some of my wines won’t be ready to drink for another 10 years. I have 12-14 cases of wine. It’s mostly from California and France, with a smaller amount from Italy.

    Hi Carol,

    Bringing your collection down bit by bit in luggage is one way to go about it. But if you want to cut the wait time, you might try a cargo shipping company or even simply using UPS or FedEx – both of which are active in Costa Rica. Keep in mind that you’ll probably have to pay some sort of customs duty on the wine. I’m not sure how much that might be or how the customs officials would value the wine… I would contact a shipper – they would have the most up to date and accurate information on that.
