Wine Direct Shipper

With a Wine Direct Shipper license, wine manufacturers can ship up to two cases of wine per month to any consumers in Missouri for their personal use.

• No Fee
• Statute 311.185

All Wine Direct Shipper Licensees Shall:

1. Not ship more than two cases of wine per month to any person for his or her personal use and not for resale;
2. Not use any carrier for shipping of wine that is not licensed under this section;
3. Only ship wine that is properly registered with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau;
4. Only ship wine manufactured on the licensed winery premises;
5. Ensure that all containers of wine delivered directly to a resident of Missouri are conspicuously labeled with the words "CONTAINS ALCOHOL: SIGNATURE OF PERSON AGE 21 OR OLDER REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY" or are conspicuously labeled with wording preapproved by the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control;
6. File an annual excise tax report by January 31 with the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control for shipments made directly to consumers the preceding year. All information requested in the report must be provided (i.e. name and address of the consumer who made the purchase, ship to address, shipment date, invoice number, amount of wine shipped, courier name and license number, and the tracking number on each shipment);
7. Pay all excise taxes due on all shipments made directly to consumers. Excise taxes due on the amount are to be calculated as if the sale were in Missouri at the location where the delivery was made; and

Out-of-State Retailers

It remains illegal for out-of-state retailers to ship wine directly to Missouri consumers from any state. Section 311.462, RSMo., referring to reciprocal state shipping, was repealed effective August 28, 2017.
