Shipping Laws
Wine shipping laws in the United States are very complicated and unique to each and every state. AmericanWinery.com allows wineries that are shipping wines directly to consumers the ability to utilize this great site to sell their wine. Unfortunately if you are unable to receive a wine from a particular winery this means that this winery’s state or the state you reside in has strict wine shipping laws and the winery is either ineligible to ship, or the cost of the license to ship to your particular state is out of their price range. AmericanWinery.com strongly encourages you to write your state legislators if you are in a state that doesn’t allow wineries to sell their products directly to you. Although the laws are becoming more fair, wholesaler middlemen are aggressively supporting state-sanctioned monopolies in wine distribution. This is unfair to you, the consumer, and our participating wineries. We encourage you to check out our friends at FreeTheGrapes.org where they are leading the way to make sure American winery businesses are able to do free and fair commerce.
