Have you been wanting to expand into new markets? Do you know what are the real expenses of doing business in the states you're thinking about? It's important to know which states have strong wine sales, but often the licensing and compliance requirements are overlooked in the consideration. 

Will you be required to register with the Secretary of State to operate there? If you are shipping wholesale, how careful do you need to be when selecting your distributor? Will it be difficult or expensive to change your distributor later? If you are shipping DTC, what are the reporting requirements? Are you limited to wine of your own production? Many factors need to be taken into account to determine the true business potential of any particular state. 

The Digest of Wine and Spirits Law is an excellent, quick reference for evaluating the licensing fees, renewal fees, ongoing regulatory requirements and more, so you can look before you leap.
