SB 25-274

Senate Bill 25-274, which has been signed into law, changes the rules for wine delivery in Colorado. Instead of making sure that the person receiving the wine is the intended recipient, drivers now only need to check if the receiver is at least 21 years old and not visibly drunk before delivering wine shipments. This affects anyone who orders wine directly from a winery or similar business. Since the bill has been signed, these new rules are now in effect for all licensed alcohol shippers in Colorado.

Official Summary

For vinous liquor alcohol shipper licenses, once those licenses are issued by the state, the act removes the requirement that a driver delivering vinous liquors on behalf of an alcohol beverage shipper licensee ensure that the individual accepting delivery is the individual intended to receive the product and instead requires only that the driver delivering the vinous liquor ensure that the individual accepting delivery is not under twenty-one years of age or visibly intoxicated. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
