Maryland retailers lose ground in battle for direct wine shipping Maryland retailers took a step backward in their fight to ship wine directly to customers after the House of Delegates’ alcoholic beverages subcommittee said this week only state wineries should be allowed to send wine through the mail.

The decision means the only realistic chance retailers have now to obtain shipping rights is if the Senate decides to include them in its bill, to be voted on later this week. It also means pleas heard this month from Maryland’s Jewish community for access to more kosher wines via mail failed to persuade lawmakers.
