SB 6537: Shipment of wine

Modifying requirements for the direct sale of wine to Washington state consumers.

Summary

  • Allows both domestic wineries and out-of-state wineries to ship wine to Washington residents who are 21 or older for personal use and not for resale.
  • Repeals reciprocity law that allows out-of-state wineries to ship wine directly to Washington residents so long as domestic wineries may ship wine directly to residents of other states.
