The listing of zip codes are those that are approved for wine shipping under the FedEx program. Other zips (while they may be wet) go to regions where they use contractors rather than FedEx employees (and they don’t allow contractors to handle hazardous, highly insured, or “special handling” shipments), or where they felt that the product was likely to be held outside for extended periods of time in inclement weather, and therefore they won’t carry.
- Wine sold and shipped directly to a person must be shipped in containers that are conspicuously labeled with the words: “Contains alcohol: Signature of person 21 years of age or older required for delivery.”
