(WHTM) - Wineries would be permitted to ship wine directly to Pennsylvania consumers under legislation voted out of the House Liquor Control Committee on Tuesday.
House Bill 121 would allow both in-state and out-of-state wineries to ship their products directly to consumers, as long as the wineries obtain a limited winery license and direct shipper license through the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.
Shippers would be required to collect Pennsylvania's 6 percent sales tax and the 18 percent tax on alcohol sold in the state. The taxes would have to be sent to the Department of Revenue each quarter.
