Hi:
We run into this when we ship to AZ. Wines may be stored @ 60 degrees F when they leave the Central Coast, and the temp may be 110 degrees F when the wine arrives on Phoenix.
To resolve this issue, we found a shipper who among other things ships medical supplies and pharmaceuticals from CA to AZ. These items need cooled/chilled trucks to do this successfully. We contacted one such vendor, and he was happy to take the wine along with his other consignments.
I imagine that any shipper of heat fragile items may do the same.

Not everyone takes the time to protect wine. Online shops and Wine Clubs just use standard shipping methods to ship wine to a individual buyer. I have found some that will not ship wine in the summer months but that limits their market so most just ship away not worrying about the quality of the wine when it arrives.
