Good news for Maryland wine lovers

As of July 1, we will be able to get wine shipped to us! Hooray!!!! I am so happy I won't have to use my relatives in Virginia for wine shipping anymore.

  • Woohoo! This will make my friend so happy since we won't have to ship to her house anymore and then make her it lug it all the way up here :-)

    I don't get this weird law - I can buy beer and wine at the Safeway on Briggs Chaney Road in Silver Spring... but that's it....

    What's that all about?

    A handful of stores got their license before the law changed. At least in MoCo. I think it's a county-by-county thing, though.

    YAY for wine imports, though! I am going to go broke in wine club dues.

  • One grocery store per chain can sell beer and wine in MoCo. So one Safeway, one Giant, etc...

    I'm a dork, so I googled it and this is what their website says:

    Why can?t I purchase beer and wine in my grocery store?

    Maryland State law prohibits this. Four Montgomery County grocery stores sell beer and wine today because they were licensed before the law changed.

     

    Which means I was wrong about it being county-by-county, though. I guess it's a fairly recent law. There's a grocery store near me (in PG) that's only been selling beer and wine for the past few years.

    Also, is it sad that I can identify three of the four grocery stores off the top of my head?

    Yeah, seriously!  But, this is good news anyway!

  • I think the answer on their website isn't entirely correct, because grocery stores can sell beer and wine if they are the only location in the county. I know Sniders and Balducci's (on Old Georgetown Rd.) both sell alcohol. The World Market on Rockville Pike started selling wine when the other store location in Bethesda closed.
