Selling Wine In Florida

How do I get a license to sell wine from Oregon in Florida? Jill.
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

When you say "sell," do you mean retail sales to the general public, wholesale distribution to the trade or acting as an agent for Oregon wineries?

My advice would be to contact the Florida agency responsible for all such matters, the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. You can find out more by visiting their site at myflorida.com/dbpr/abt.
