What we check
Common questions about breweries and wineries websites
Does my brewery website need age verification?
Most states require age verification before users can access alcohol-related content online. Even where not legally required, implementing an age gate is an industry best practice that demonstrates responsible marketing.
Can I ship wine to customers who order through my website?
Direct-to-consumer wine shipping laws vary significantly by state. Some states allow it with a permit, others prohibit it entirely. Your website must clearly communicate which states you can and cannot ship to.
What claims can I make about craft beer on my website?
The TTB regulates all alcohol advertising. You cannot make health claims about alcohol. Terms like "natural," "organic," and "craft" have specific regulatory definitions. Your website claims must align with TTB guidelines.
