Vinoshipper Facilitates the Expansion of Direct Sales
How many times have you had to decline a sale because you couldn’t ship a few bottles, or even a few cases, to a customer out of state? If you already ship out of state, you know the compliance management and reporting can be extremely time consuming and hard to stay up to date, especially with changing tax rates.
Vinoshipper facilitates the expansion of direct sales across the United States for small and medium-sized wineries and gives consumers more variety and brands to choose from. We are an end-to-end e-commerce, compliance, tax, reporting, and shipping platform. Every sale through the platform is compliant.
In fact, we have been a DTC trailblazer, helping policymakers and the industry understand the benefits of direct sales for producers, regulators, and consumers.
Policy topics have been focused on four areas helping producers comply with all laws, specifically related to ALTA:
Age verification
Licensing and compliance
Tax calculation
Auditability
We believe it is vital to keep our markets thriving, open, and fair to help small and medium-sized wineries compete, while at the same time giving consumers more choice. Often, the ability to sell directly to consumers is a lifeline to stay in business.
Small and medium-sized wineries represent 99 percent of all wineries in the United States. Yet, they only represent 15 percent of total wine sales. We are dedicated to helping them sell more wine.
