Not online, but I have done in person. In my experience Bordeaux was very good value (in NY in particular, many bottles cheaper than in Bordeaux) while everything else seemed same/more expensive, including (amazingly) many US wines! Besides the excise and VAT I would imagine shipping could be a killer as wine is very heavy. There may also be an additional import duty.

What did you have in mind? Unless you have a particular interest in US wine direct from the winery you are likely better off buying from Europe (millesima.ie etc.)
