They don’t make enough to ship ‘em anywhere. :’) If you look in the better stores (specialty shops, gourmet cooking joints, high-end liquor stores, and Greek groceries) you’ll find some selection, including Retsina, which has been called the national beverage of Greece. It’s wine mingled with pine resin, and it has been identified in Mycenaean kitchen artifacts (IOW, older than this 600 BC thing).

Retsina, yuck. That’s why I specified a *popular* international wine product!
