Gifts of Wine/Aguardiente in Barrio Alqueria, Bogota???

I would like to purchase some wine and aguardiente for some friends who live in Barrio Alqueria, Bogota. I live in the States and was wondering if anyone knew of a store where I could order the gifts over the phone and have my friends pick-up their booze/gifts. Preferably a store in the area where they live. I have done this for friends in other countries -- I am hoping to be able to do the same in Bogota.

You can for sure order by phone and the people at the store will be more than glad to deliver the booze to your friends home, problem is how to deliver the money.

What I have done in the past is give my credit card info to the store. Besides the name of the store, a phone number would be helpful.

Are you serious? You have bought stuff OVER THE PHONE IN COLOMBIA using your C.C. details?

Not in colombia but other countries. I have never had a problem. Especially if I let them know I will be using their services often. Plus I mention that I am visiting the country very soon.

Because I doubt any shop in Colombia will accept C.C. details over the phone as payment. Good luck.

I may have to just send the money, western union, to my friends and have them get it themselves. It would just be nice to have things preselected.
