HR 5034 Threatens Legal Direct Shipping
In April, HR 5034 was introduced into the US House of Representatives. If passed, federal direct shipping regulations would revert to 2005 levels. Like most anti-shipping bills, it uses scare tactics on underage drinking and loss of tax revenue but is really concerned with guaranteeing liquor distributors' share of wine and spirits revenue.
If it becomes law, it would eliminate consumer access to thousands of wineries and tens of thousands of wines, and would likely bankrupt hundreds of small wineries. Read more about
direct shipping issues or learn
how to make your voice heard.
