An act relating to direct-to-consumer shipping of spirits and fortified wines
This bill allows manufacturers of spirits and fortified wines to obtain a license for shipping their products directly to consumers in Vermont. It requires license holders to register each product, sell at state-set retail prices, and limit shipments to 12 cases of fortified wine or four cases of spirits per resident annually. The legislation also creates a special fund to offset revenue losses for the state liquor department and requires quarterly reporting from license holders.
