Alcoholic beverages; authorize direct sales and shipments of distilled spirits to be made to residents in this state.

SB 2914 would have allowed distillers to ship distilled spirits (alcoholic beverages over 6% alcohol by weight) directly to Mississippi residents, expanding existing rules that currently permit direct wine shipments. The bill required distillers to obtain a state-issued "direct shipper's permit," limit annual shipments to 12 nine-liter cases per address, mandate signature verification for delivery, and require quarterly sales reporting to the state. It also revised tax rules to apply to distilled spirits shipments instead of wine, while prohibiting resale of shipped products and requiring specific labeling. However, the bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
