Learn why wineries, breweries, distilleries and more choose Sovos ShipCompliant as an alternative to Vinoshipper. Our solutions make it easier to navigate constantly evolving direct-to-consumer shipping laws, minimize risks associated with compliance and provide transparent pricing to ensure clear cost management as your business grows.
Sovos ShipCompliant emphasizes the importance of wineries and other alcohol producers shipping products under their own licenses to ensure compliance with direct-to-consumer (DtC) shipping regulations. Relying on third-party services that claim to cover licensing on behalf of producers is legally risky and can lead to significant consequences.
Operating under another entity's license may violate state laws, potentially resulting in fines, penalties or even loss of production licenses (if, for example, the state whose laws were violated notifies your home state’s licensing body). You want to remain confident that your business won’t be hindered by legal action. Therefore, it's crucial for each producer to obtain and maintain their own shipping licenses for the states into which they ship.
