Article on Wine in India
I'm looking for a word that conveys the sense of "aggirato" in English. The only thing I've come up with so far is "avoided", but I think that doesn't quite do the term justice. Any suggestions?
A sei anni dalla cancellazione del bando che ne vietava il commercio (***aggirato*** da occulti canali diplomatici), gli indiani stanno scoprendo un nuovo business: quello del vino.

Comment: "Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions, but I like this option best here because of the "formality" regarding the diplomatic channels in question."

bypassed
I think you could say so. Many hits in google. You also say it in Italian "bypassato" (very ugly) but meaning avoiding obstacles.
Ciao.

"go round"
I think 'go round' could be the right translation for aggirato in your context, but of course you'll need to change the sentece around, sth like 'it's been possible to go round it through/thanks to....'
basically to avoid the problem and find a solution, I think that's why you thought that avoided was doing the term justice - I got the same impression - because it needs the other bit of the meaning, that a solution has somehow been found.
