Interesting. So BB&R has a shop at Heathrow. Does anyone know if you can make a purchase from them and have it delivered to the Heathrow location to pick up? I have a friend that is a commercial pilot, and this might open up the UK for me a bit.

I don't think they have it anymore. They used to and indeed it used to be possible to have wine delivered there, but I believe they quit the shop some years ago.

Actually, there were four BB&R shops at Heathrow if I am not mistaken, the first of which was launched in 1994 the same year as their online website. It was great to order from BB&R and pick up wine on a "fly through" at one of the shops, especially the great one at Heathrow's Terminal 3 (my fave besides St. James of course) but the stores were shuttered in 2006.
