SB 149 – Easing restrictions on direct wine sales

Sen. Boots’ SB 149 would ease restrictions on direct wine sellers. I believe that the recipient of the wine would still have to reside in Indiana; but, there would no longer be a need for an initial, face-to-face meeting. The consumer would have to provide proof of age with a copy of a state issued ID card or driver’s license, and a verified statement, subject to penalties for perjury, that the person is at least 21, has an Indiana address, and intends to use the wine for personal use and not for resale or other commercial purposes.
