ARIZONA SENATE COMMITTEE APPROVES DIRECT WINE SHIPMENT BILL

An Arizona Senate committee approved a bill that will allow small, out-of-state wineries to ship directly to Arizona customers. If passed, the bill will allow wineries producing less than 50,000 gallons a year to send direct wine shipments to residents. Under current Arizona law, wineries in other states must pass through wholesalers and retailers before delivering to consumers. The proposed law will now go to the full Senate.
