Wineries participating in the Wine Institute-FedEx Affinity program should note that FedEx is now servicing Maryland. Both FedEx Ground and FedEx Express have been approved to deliver wine to consumers in Maryland provided the wine is shipped by a winery with a valid Maryland direct wine shipper’s permit. Members of Wine Institute enrolled in the shipping program receive discounted FedEx shipping rates and are not charged the $4.25 adult signature required fee. Additional information about the FedEx Affinity Program is available on Wine Institute’s website.
