Stores throughout the country are allowed to ship thousands of goods directly to consumers. Think about it. Televisions, computers, potato chips, chocolates, books…. As you know the list can just go on and on. Look at all that Amazon offers consumers. As a long time resident of Maryland, I have been waiting and waiting to be able to have the opportunity to order a bottle of wine online or belong to one of the many wine clubs available throughout the country. Make 2010 the year that the Maryland legislature members realize that direct wine shipping will help both the consumers who elect them and the state coffers which have been decimated.

Please support Direct Wine Shipping by contacting the Maryland state legislator members and by signing the petition at Marylanders for Better Beer and Wine Laws.

For an additional article about the direct shipping initiatives in Maryland, read Dave McIntyre’s article, “Why Maryland Consumers can’t buy wine online” in the Washington Post.
