Milwaukee Wine Gift Delivery Tips
Duplexes and flats
Many homes are two-family duplexes or upper and lower flats. Include the upper or lower unit and pick a day when someone will be home.
Winter cold
Wisconsin winters bring snow and below-zero days that can slow deliveries and freeze wine left outside. Pick a day when someone 21 or older will be home to sign and bring it in.
Festival season
Summerfest and the summer festivals bring big crowds to the lakefront. Order early and send to a home address.
Hospitals
Froedtert, Aurora St. Luke's and Children's Wisconsin may not accept alcohol for patients. Send to the recipient's home instead.
College students
Most Marquette and UWM students are under 21, and wine can only be delivered to someone 21 or older with ID. Wine gifts are better for faculty, staff, parents and graduates.
Office buildings
Many offices have security desks or mailrooms that may not sign for alcohol. Confirm with the recipient, and check that the employer allows alcohol gifts.
