An Act relative to the direct wine shipper license
This bill updates Massachusetts law to clarify the requirements for obtaining a direct wine shipper license. It allows wineries that already hold federal permits and state manufacturing licenses to sell and ship their own branded wine directly to consumers aged 21 and older. The legislation specifically restricts these sales to wine produced by the licensee and marketed under a label owned or registered by them, ensuring that only the winery's own products are sold directly to residents.
