27 U.S.C. § 124 — Direct shipment of wine

(a) Conditions for transporting certain wine. This rule only applies during times when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has safety rules restricting what airline passengers can carry. During those times, people can still have wine shipped from one state to another state, or to the District of Columbia, if all five conditions below are met. First, the buyer must have bought the wine in person, while actually physically present at the winery. Second, the winery must have checked that the buyer gave proof of legal age to buy alcohol. Third, the container the wine ships in must be marked to require an adult's signature when it's delivered. Fourth, the wine must be for the buyer's own personal use, not for resale to anyone else. Fifth, the wine has to be something the buyer could have legally carried into the destination state or the District of Columbia themselves. (b) Violations. If a shipper fails to meet any of these five conditions, the attorney general of any state may bring a civil lawsuit. That lawsuit follows the same terms as the ones set out in section 122a of this title. (c) Report. The Attorney General of the United States, working with the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, must prepare a report on how this section is being carried out. The first report was due no later than 2 years after November 2, 2002. After that, a new report is due every 2 years. Each report must go to the Judiciary Committee of the Senate and the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives.
