# Alabama Wine Shipping Regulations

Consumers are required by law to go to a State ABC store to place a special order and obtain a Direct Import Authorization Form. This must be obtained prior to placing an order for out-of-state wine. [Click here](https://cdn.document360.io/7485bb4a-23de-4afb-8cc6-1aefa93abbfa/Images/Documentation/Alabama_ABC_Form.pdf) to obtain and download a copy of the form. • A list of Alabama state stores can be found [here](https://alabcboard.gov/sites/default/files/inline-files/Store%20Phone%20List_0.pdf). • The consumer then sends a copy of the completed form to the winery they purchase from. • The winery sends order information to WineDirect, including:

o ABC Store number in the Name or Company field o ABC Store address in the address fields o Copy of the form to WineDirect at [CSOperations@winedirect.com](mailto:csoperations@winedirect.com) to include in the shipping package with the wine. • WineDirect ships the package to the designated State ABC store. • Upon arrival at the ABC Store, the consumer will be contacted for pickup. • The consumer is responsible for payment of the Alabama taxes upon pickup. • PLEASE NOTE: Carriers will return shipments not properly addressed to an Alabama ABC State Store.
