§124 Direct Shipment of Wine

Summary

Permits direct shipment of wine from a winery in one State to another State or to the District of Columbia during times when the FAA has passenger safety rules, if all of these are true: the buyer bought the wine while physically at the winery, the buyer gave the winery proof they are old enough to buy alcohol, the package is labeled so an adult must sign when it is delivered, the wine is only for the buyer’s personal use and not for resale, and the buyer could have legally carried the wine into the destination State or D.C. If any of these rules are broken, the attorney general of any State can file a civil lawsuit under the same terms as section 122a of this title. Not later than 2 years after November 2, 2002, and every 2 years after that, the U.S. Attorney General, working with the FAA Administrator, must send a report about how this is working to the Judiciary Committees of the Senate and the House.
