State Control Markets

Some states in the U.S. require alcohol beverage products to be shipped through their state control stores. This is similar to Norway in Europe, or British Columbia in Canada. State control stores add an extra layer of cost to your products, but they are often critical for national account programs and can be very strong partnerships in an of themselves. Pennsylvania, Utah and Wyoming are examples of state controlled markets. If you wish to present your product to national buyers, you must understand this aspect of the market and how to succeed within it. Baedeker Wine will guide you!
