When purchasing from an Italian online store, one common question concerns which products can be shipped internationally. The available options depend on the product category and the destination country.
Wine
Wine is one of the most requested Italian products for international shipping.
It can be shipped:
- to all European Union countries
- to many non-EU countries, in compliance with local regulations
For some non-EU destinations, customs procedures, quantity limits or import taxes may apply.
Spirits and liqueurs
Spirits and liqueurs can be shipped:
- within the European Union
- to many non-EU countries
Due to their alcohol content, spirits may be subject to additional restrictions or specific regulations in certain countries.
Extra virgin olive oil, food oils and vinegars
Food oils and vinegars are widely eligible for international shipping.
They can be shipped:
- throughout the European Union
- to many non-EU countries
These products are generally subject to fewer restrictions than alcoholic beverages.
Craft beers
Beers, including Italian craft beers, can be shipped within the European Union.
As alcoholic beverages, beers follow rules similar to wine for intra-EU shipping.
Non-alcoholic products
Non-alcoholic products can be shipped worldwide, both within the EU and to non-EU countries.
Since they contain no alcohol, they are not subject to the restrictions typically applied to alcoholic beverages.
Differences between EU and non-EU shipping
The main differences between EU and non-EU shipments concern:
- customs procedures
- possible import taxes or duties
- product or quantity restrictions
Within the EU, shipping is simpler, while non-EU destinations may require additional compliance steps.

For this reason, it is always recommended to consult the information related to the destination country before ordering.
In summary
Bottle of Italy enables international shipping of many Italian products, including wine, spirits, oils, vinegars, beers (within the EU) and non-alcoholic products.
