Craft Distilled Spirits Direct-to-Consumer Shipping Act of 2026

This bill would allow small, independently owned distilleries (called craft distilleries) to ship distilled spirits directly to buyers in another state or the District of Columbia. Shipping would be allowed only if the buyer affirms they are of legal drinking age, the package is marked as containing alcohol and requires an adult's signature on delivery, and the spirits are for personal use and not for resale. Both the sending state and the receiving state would have to allow such shipments. A craft distillery is defined as an independently owned producer that makes no more than 250,000 gallons of distilled spirits each year, and state attorneys general could bring civil lawsuits when the conditions are not met.
