Keeping in mind that I don't know the specifics on international alcohol sales...
The Dutch seller will be required to follow the same age regulations and verification procedures as a US/domestic seller.
In at least some cases, age is verified upon delivery, by the shipping company (e.g. Fed Ex). Sites may also use other age verification techniques and do use disclaimers.
I've never bought booze online, so I don't specifically know what they use.
But it's pretty clear that a disclaimer alone is not sufficient.
And really, the idea that only the distributor is responsible is a tad silly, as it would create a massive loophole.
