Currently, it is unlawful to have a case of wine shipped to your house in Delaware. If you're a serious wine-lover, you're stuck buying what's available at local wine stores, or what you transport over state lines yourself (and if you're in PA, you can't even legally do that). You cannot go on the internet, find a boutique vineyard in California that you remember from your honeymoon, and order a case of pinot.
Now, for the 2nd year in a row, State Representative Deborah Hudson (R-Fairthorne) has introduced a bill that would make it legal for of-age residents to have up to 12 cases of wine shipped to them per year. The same bill was struck down in committee last year, felled by heavy opposition from liquor retailers and liquor-transport teamsters who say it would cost them income. It's expected to face the same opposition this year.
