Federal Airline Restrictions on Liquids Have Ramifications for Wineries and Consumers
After a potential terrorist attack on US bound planes was averted, the Department of Homeland Security increased the terror alerts and banned all liquids from being carried on to airplanes. Wine consumers are directly affected by this new ban. Generally, consumers visit a winery, purchase wine, and carry it back on the plane. Now, they must either stow the wine in their luggage or check the wine separately, or they must ship it from the winery to their home.

Whenever there are airline restrictions in place, the federally passed on-site shipping rules apply. These allow wineries to ship small amounts of wine to a consumer if the purchase was face to face. Click on the "Federal On-Site Shipment Law" link below to see on-site limits for each state.

Note – Most states that have shifted to requiring wineries to apply for a shipping permit now only allow shipments to consumers with that permit. Please view the Shipping States page on the website for a listing of which states require permits. Please note that the consumer must be in person at the winery
