I don't understand why there should be the current shipping restriction on wine. I don't think it affects the amount or the demographics of who consumes it. I favor changing the law to allow shipments, and to apply the same taxes as face to face sales at stores incur.

Hi, I have lived in Maryland 9 years after spending most of my life in Oregon (God's country for fine wines). I never cease to be amazed at the arcane and archaic liquor laws in my adopted state. Studies have shown that allowing alcoholic beverages by mail actually increases state revenues. More to the point: Adults can make their own decisions about their beverages. Wherever I have seen adult beverages freely available in stores I have not noted a corruption of society. Support consumers' rights by allowing direct shipment!

I attend wine festivals in NJ every year and find some wines I adore. I cannot find them around here and would like the freedom to have them shipped to my own home.

I am a citizen of the state of Maryland and support the rationalization of our beer and wine laws. It is truly disheartening to see the beer and wine distributors succeed in blocking what would be a benefit to all the citizens of Maryland. I would like to be able to order wine online for shipment to my home. This is a matter of personal liberty and economic freedom. Please vote in favor direct wine shipping.

The current laws are dumb and cost citizens money. They remain only because of the financial clout of the industry. Please do what is best for consumers and citizens.

Current restrictions retard the growth of what would otherwise be a (more) vibrant industry (Maryland winemaking, that is). Let's reward the entrepreneurs and not the middlemen.

Ever since our first trip to Temecula, CA my husband & I fell in love with the art of fine wine. Now some of our favorite wineries from those trips are no longer available to us. Since our return to Maryland we have been constrained by these rediculous shipping laws. There is no reason to prohibit direct wine shipping. We are one of only a few states that prevent direct shipping. Please change these laws & allow free trade among the states.

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND AND REPRESENT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED YOU INTO YOUR OFFICE, NOT THE LOBBISTS GIVING YOU MONEY. MARYLANDERS WANT THE CHOICE TO PURCHASE WINE OUT OF STATE AND JOIN WINE CLUBS THAT SHIP TO OUR RESIDENCE, LOCAL VINEYARDS WANT THE CHOICE TO SHIP THEIR WINE OUT OF STATE. ITS TIME TO STOP AND MAKE NEW CHOICES.

Please support and pass this consumer friendly law. Help Marylanders get access to the products they want and Maryland wineries open new markets. There is no reason not to pass this law other than being beholden to special interests!
