Today you can buy a book, a blanket or a car on-line as easily as a loaf of bread in the supermarket. Buying wine on-line is different. When Congress repealed Prohibition, they allowed each state to make their own laws about beverage alcohol sales so that states could choose to remain dry. They didn't intend to set up a patchwork of 50 sets of laws governing wine sales, but that is what happened. Some states have reciprocal laws about shipping wine, some don't.
Some states permit shipment, others local delivery, others no delivery at all.
