People in Alabama could soon be allowed to order wine from a winery and get the package delivered to their homes. Both the House and Senate have approved H.B. 437, a bill that would allow winemakers to ship their products directly to people in Alabama.
With both houses in agreement, the bill heads to Gov. Kay Ivey for her signature.
Under existing state law, winemakers may ship orders of wine to patrons in Alabama, but the wineries may only send the shipments to state-run facilities or ABC stores for pick up.
