Can you ship wine to Maryland?

Yes, you can get wine delivered to Maryland, with caveats. Only specially-licensed and permitted wineries may send wine directly to consumers homes or offices in Maryland. Limited options exist for wine delivery from retailers to MD residents. Additional excise taxes apply. Purchase limits apply. Adult signature required upon delivery. See below for more details. Skip the fine print

The Fine Print

Dry Communities: A dry community is one in which sales (or delivery) of alcoholic beverages are prohibited. A “dry” community is one in which sales (or delivery) of alcoholic beverages are prohibited. Maryland does not have any dry communities.

The State of Maryland allows wineries outside of Maryland to deliver wine to Maryland residents via Common Carrier (FedEx, UPS, etc.). These companies must obtain a Direct Wine Shippers Permit (among other requirements). Shipments must not exceed 18 12-bottle cases per year per address. All direct-shipped wine is subject to a $0.40 per gallon wine excise tax (a gallon of wine is roughly equivalent to five bottles of wine) in addition to any applicable sales taxes. Someone 21 years old or older must be available to sign for the package upon delivery. Maryland residents cannot resell any wine that is shipped to them.

Buyer beware. While we do our best to make it easy to find wine that can be delivered to your state, each winery and retailer is the final say in whether they will ship to consumers. Those that do so without a permit often disclose on their site in the Terms of Service, Legal, or Shipping pages that you are responsible for obeying the laws of your state, not the retailer.

How to get wine delivered in Maryland

Whether you are shipping to yourself, a friend, a colleague, or a family member, you must purchase alcohol and have it mailed by an entity with a valid liquor license. As a non-licensee it is never legal for you to ship alcohol yourself in the United States, much less to MD residents.

Wine may be delivered via FedEx, UPS, or other private shippers, but the USPS does not permit the shipping of alcohol of any kind. These types of services deliver wine to MD: wine subscriptions, wine stores, same-day delivery, wine gift services, and wineries.

Wine subscriptions with wine delivery to Maryland

Wine Subscriptions: Some wine of the month clubs are both retailers and wineries (like Firstleaf and Nakedwines.com), so they are able to ship wine as a producer (a better delivery experience for MD residents).

There are other legal ways to ship wine to Maryland residents but we don’t check how each wine subscription service goes about doing it — the companies who offer wine subscriptions are responsible for the legalities of their shipping policies.

Wine stores who deliver wine to Maryland

In Maryland, outdated wine shipping laws going back to Prohibition are still in place, impeding or outright preventing interstate shipping of certain wines from retailers directly to consumers. The wine you personally can buy is limited by these outdated laws. The stores shown below can ship wine to you, but which wines they are allowed to send you may be limited by these laws.
