Consumers are required by law to go to a State ABC store to place a special order and obtain a Direct Import Authorization Form. This must be obtained prior to placing an order for out-of-state wine. Click here to obtain and download a copy of the form.

​
Process Overview

• A list of Alabama state stores can be found here. • The consumer then sends a copy of the completed form to the winery they purchase from. • The winery sends order information to WineDirect, including:
  • ABC Store number in the Name or Company field
  • ABC Store address in the address fields
  • Copy of the form to WineDirect at CSOperations@winedirect.com to include in the shipping package with the wine.
• WineDirect ships the package to the designated State ABC store. • Upon arrival at the ABC Store, the consumer will be contacted for pickup. • The consumer is responsible for payment of the Alabama taxes upon pickup.
PLEASE NOTE: Carriers will return shipments not properly addressed to an Alabama ABC State Store.
