A BILL

To allow direct shipment of distilled spirits by craft distilleries, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Craft Distilled Spirits Direct-to-Consumer Shipping Act of 2026”.

SEC. 2. Direct shipment of distilled sprits.

(a) Conditions for transporting certain distilled spirits.—The direct shipment of a distilled spirit by a craft distillery shall be permitted from States where a distilled spirit is purchased from a craft distillery, to another State or the District of Columbia, if—

(1) the purchaser of the distilled spirit affirmed they are of legal age to purchase alcohol by—

(A) providing a valid form of government issued identification at the time of purchase at the craft distillery; or

(B) making such affirmation when purchasing from the craft distillery online or over the phone;

(2) the shipping container in which the distilled spirit is shipped is marked to—

(A) indicate such container contains alcohol; and

(B) require an adult's signature upon delivery;

(3) the distilled spirit is for personal use only and not for resale;

(4) the State from which the distilled spirit is shipped allows such direct shipment to a purchaser; and

(5) the State into which the distilled spirt is shipped permits the receipt of such direct shipment by a purchaser.

(b) Violations.—If any person fails to meet any of the conditions under subsection (a), the attorney general of any State may bring a civil action under the same terms as those set out in section 2 of the Act entitled “An Act divesting intoxicating liquors of their interstate character in certain cases”, approved March 1, 1913 (commonly known as the “Webb-Kenyon Act”) (27 U.S.C. 122a).

(c) Definitions.—In this section:

(1) CRAFT DISTILLERY.—The term “craft distillery” means a producer that—

(A) distills, rectifies, or blends not greater than 250,000 gallons of distilled spirit each year; and

(B) is independently owned.

(2) DISTILLED SPIRIT.—The term “distilled spirit” has the meaning given the term in section 117 of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (27 U.S.C. 211).

(3) INDEPENDENTLY OWNED.—The term “independently owned” means, with respect to a craft distillery, that no producer that produces more than 250,000 gallons of distilled spirit each year has a direct or indirect ownership interest in such craft distillery.
