RTD cocktails have captured American consumers, with the last two years posting nearly 100% growth among leading brands in this niche category. Many states are drafting and revising laws to adjust to this recent popularity.

At The Digest of Wine and Spirits Law we have an ongoing commitment to keep you aware of legal updates that may affect your RTD strategies, including changes in excise tax rates, labeling and advertising regulations, as well as where your products can be sold in the various states. For example, 16 states prohibit the distribution of spirits based RTD cocktails in grocery stores and standard retail channels, while allowing non-spirits based RTD products of comparable or equal ABV% to be sold through multiple retail outlets.

Before you commit your production, marketing, and logistics resources to this hot sector of the market, check the Digest for the information and resources you need to make your best business decisions.
