Currently, sales of the Roman wines made at Mas-de-Tourelle (Durand's
Gallo-Roman wineyard) are limited to France; however, you may want to
contact them. It might be possible to work out an individual solution:

Mas des Tourelles
4294, route de Bellegarde
30300 Beaucaire
France

I live in London and wish to arrange a wine-tasting session for a
Classics club promoting Graeco- Roman culture using "ancient Roman"
wines.  Herve Durand seems to be the only winemaker of this kind, my
research has failed to uncover anyone else.  I am stuck as it appears
that there is no other means of ordering any of his wines from a
UK-based importer.  I am absolutely desperate !!

While this may not be of use to folks in the U.K.(I am not too
familiar with their import laws), there are a few options for those in
the U.S.A. I personally use the national wine database located at
http://www.winelust.com/wine_finder/index.htm to find retailers who
carry specific wines.
