2005 Senate Bill 625 ↩

House Roll Call 699: Passed

To limit direct wine shipment from in-state and out-of-state wineries to Michigan citizens for personal consumption. Subject to existing conditions and regulations, a winery that pays a $100 annual license fee could annually ship not more than 1,500 cases per year to all Michigan consumers. The bill contains proof-of-age regulations on Internet orders and shipment receipts. In-state wineries could ship directly to restaurants, but out-of-state ones could not. If this provision is challenged successfully challenged in court then Michigan wineries would also be prohibited from selling to restaurants.
