Looking at the map of Middle Earth, the distance between Thranduil's halls in Mirkwood and the vineyards of Dorwinion on the north-west shore of the Sea of Rhun was as the crow flies the same distance as that between Rivendell and Edoras. And the barrels of wine had to go backwards and forwards on an even longer route, via the River Running, Long Lake and the Forest River.

Was such a length of trade route really feasible ?
