Can you mail order wine in oklahoma

In Oklahoma, the laws regarding mail-order wine sales are a bit complex. Here's a breakdown:

Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Shipping:

• Oklahoma allows wineries to ship wine directly to consumers, but only if the winery is licensed and registered with the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission (ABLE).
• However, there are some restrictions:
  • The winery must be located in a state that allows Oklahoma wineries to ship wine to their residents.
  • The winery must obtain a permit from ABLE and pay a fee.
  • The wine must be shipped in a sealed container and accompanied by a shipping manifest.
  • The consumer must be at least 21 years old and provide proof of age at the time of delivery.

Retailer-to-Consumer Shipping:

• Oklahoma retailers (e.g., wine shops, liquor stores) are not allowed to ship wine directly to consumers.
• However, some retailers may offer wine clubs or subscription services that allow them to ship wine to Oklahoma customers. In these cases, the retailer must obtain a permit from ABLE and comply with the same regulations as wineries.

Online Wine Retailers:

• Some online wine retailers, such as Wine.com or Total Wine, may ship wine to Oklahoma customers. However, these retailers typically partner with licensed wineries or wholesalers to facilitate the shipment.
• These retailers must comply with Oklahoma's laws and regulations regarding wine sales and shipping.

Tips for Oklahoma Wine Shoppers:

• When ordering wine online, make sure to check the retailer's shipping policies and ensure they are licensed to ship to Oklahoma.
• Be aware that some wineries or retailers may not ship to Oklahoma due to state regulations or other restrictions.
• Consider visiting local wine shops or wineries in Oklahoma to explore their selection and learn more about their shipping policies.

Remember to always drink responsibly and enjoy your wine purchases!
