The state of Maryland has some of the harshest wine shipping laws in the U.S. Should the adult citizens of our fair state be able to purchase and ship wine to themselves? What happens when you visit Oregon, Washington or California’s very prolific winery areas? You are not able to legally ship wine back to your home in Maryland. Wineries in Maryland and outside of Maryland are not allowed to ship wine to those living in Maryland. Do you know that many wines produced throughout the country can not be purchased at a local wine store?The answer to all this is being debated in the Maryland legislature. It has passed one committee but has a long way to go. If you are concerned about the state of shipping wine in Maryland contact your state legislators.
