On May 2, 1996 House Bill 96-1282,
Concerning the Shipment of Alcoholic Beverages, became law.
Section 12-47-128(l)(l), C.R.S. was amended to read as follows:
It is unlawful for any person
who is a common carrier regulated under Article
10 or 11 of Title 40, of Colorado Revised Statutes, or
is an agent or employee of such common carrier, to
deliver alcoholic beverages for any person who has not
been issued a license or permit pursuant to this article.
Section 1247-126.5 regarding
interstate wine shipments into Colorado was amended as follows:
(1) The holder of an alcoholic
beverage license that authorizes the manufacture of vinous
liquors in a state that affords Colorado adults or licensees
an equal reciprocal shipping privilege may ship, for personal
use and not for resale, not more than two cases of vinous
liquors per month to any adult resident in this state.
Delivery of a shipment pursuant to this section shall
not be deemed to constitute a sale in this state. The
shipping container of any vinous liquors sent into or
out of this state under this section shall be clearly
labeled to indicate that the package cannot be delivered
to a minor, or to an intoxicated person. The holder of
an alcoholic beverage license that authorizes the manufacture
of vinous liquors in a state other than Colorado may advertise
in Colorado the availability of products by shipment to
Colorado residents pursuant to the provisions of this
section. Any order for a product to be delivered pursuant
to this section shall be made by the purchaser in person
at the licensed premises of the alcoholic beverage licensee
from whom the product is purchased.
(2)(a) Any person authorized
under subsection (1) of this section to ship vinous liquors
to an adult resident in this state shall obtain a wine
shipment permit from the state licensing authority. Applications
for wine shipment permits shall be made on forms prepared
and furnished by the state licensing authority and shall
be filed with the state licensing authority. Applicants
shall include such information as the state licensing
authority may require to determine whether a permit should
issue.
Licensed wineries that reside
in reciprocal shipping states should contact the Colorado
Liquor Enforcement Division for a "Delivery Permit"
application. Permit cost is $25.00, per year, and this fee
will be waived for permit applicants who already hold a
valid Colorado Wine and Spirits Importers liquor license.

Wine Shipment Permit.
