AUGUSTA Senator David Miramant, D-Camden, introduced a bill this week to allow wineries to ship their products in and out of Maine.
LD 1093, “An Act To Expand the Options for Shipping Wine Directly to Customers, was the subject of a public hearing before the Legislature’s Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs.
“As it stands now, out-of-state wineries and wine clubs have greater freedom to deliver wine in Maine than our own local wineries,” said Miramant. “Changing this law will help us support and promote Maine businesses.”
LD 1093 would allow retail stores, both in and out of Maine, ship wine directly to customers.
