Bill Would Allow Wine To Be Shipped Direct To Customers

upsA bill allowing wine to be shipped directly to customers has been approved by the New Jersey Senate. Two Democratic senators who sponsored the bill say lifting the direct-shipping ban would benefit consumers while also helping the state’s emerging wine industry. New Jersey is the sixth-largest wine producing state in the country. Many small wineries sell their products onsite or in a limited number of stores, but they can’t ship it to customers. Senate President Steve Sweeney says allowing direct shipping would result in wider distribution of Garden State wines. AP

 

Thirty-five other states already have direct shipping laws on the books.

 

The measure passed 29-5. It now heads to the Assembly.
