How is the restriction of direct to consumer shipping not illegal in Maryland? Doesn't it go directly against inter-state commerce? I've wondered this for many years - still don't know the logic behind it.

C'mon, get it right! This is America! Home of the free! I should be able to have a case of wine delivered to my home if I wish to. Of course there will be an over 21 person to sign for it. Get it right!

Why are we restricting the growth of our Maryland wineries and access to their quality wines? This makes no sense.

I would like to see a law passed to ship wine into and from Maryland.

The number of wineries in Maryland is increasing, but shelf space in the stores is still dominated by California and imported wines. Unless we visit the vineyards or go to the festivals, we're unable to get these wines. The economy in Maryland is in trouble. ANYTHING that can be done to help Maryland vineyards, as well as allow the citizens of Maryland more freedom of choice is a positive. Please repeal this outdated law NOW!

Allowing the shipment of wine will benefit the Maryland wineries and consumers. It would be more economical for consumers to order wine than it is to travel sometimes over 100 miles to try and support Maryland wineries. I would purchase wine more often if I could order it online because I don't always have the time to spare driving to visit my favorite wineries to purchase more wine.

I believe we should be able to buy wine directly from the winery and have it shipped to my home. What is the harm in this type of transaction.

We need to change the direct shipping of wine laws to be like almost all of the other states. Our current ban only helps the wholesale distributors, hurts our MD wineries and puts them at a severe competitive business disadvantage.

Wine is like bottled art and we should have free choice to select according to our particular taste from anywhere.

This is an outdated law that needs to be corrected. Businesses and residents alike will benefit from this.

Wine delivery would help businesss and residents alike to purchase many different types of wine. It is unheard of that we can have a beer of the month club and not receive wine.

Remember, Maryland wineries will benefit! We should not have to wait for annual wine festivals to buy Maryland wine. I should be able to have wine from anywhere shipped to me.
