Has anyone ever purchased wine online?

I haven’t but if your looking into buying some, check out w00t wine

I drank wine before it went mainstream.

Frequently. Orfila is a good place to try….

i’ve bought Absinthe online, from Europe. Had no problem. Just make sure you’re dealing with a reputable company.

I used to be a member of the California Wine Finders club (I think the name may have changed since). I thought it was great—we never had any complaints at all. We dropped the membership to save a little money, but I miss it.

Edit—I think this is it: http://www.wineinsiders.com/.

Really, the most important factor in deciding where to buy any wine is to determine how it was stored. The large oneline wine stores are able to have lower prices because of the volume they sell but who can vouch for how the wine was stored in their warehouse?
Also, UPS or the USPS isn’t going to guarantee that the wine was held at “cellar temperature” during transport.
I’d suggest trying an inexpensive PG from your local wine shop.

I suspect that many internet wine sellers have a policy like this one from Wine Insiders: “If you’re not 100% delighted with the wines we’ve chosen for you, we’ll refund the total cost of your shipment. No questions asked. You can always order with confidence, knowing we stand firmly behind every bottle we bring you.”

I have not tried it yet to purchase wines online. Interested too.
