Yes. If you are asking this question here, you'll want to ask your wine vendor (or a good courier/shipping service) about packaging and documentation requirements to ship that bottle safely and legally.
Yes, if you have a Direct Wine Shipper's Permit. There is no cost for the permit, so getting one is kind of a no-brainer if the winery cares about expanding its potential market. There are limitations on how much can be sent (2 cases per month per customer, if I remember properly).
I'm not certain what the laws are regarding a private individual sending a bottle of wine to a friend.
FedEx and UPS don't allow individuals to ship wine. Neither does the post office. Licensed parties can get a contract with UPS that allows them to ship wine, but that's limited by state laws.
Consumers in CT can have wine shipped to them for personal consumption, the limit is two cases every two months.
