Oklahoma and Wine Delivery: A Love Story (with a Few Hiccups)
Ah, Oklahoma. Land of the wind, the waving wheat, and...complicated wine laws? Fear not, fellow wine enthusiasts, for while getting your Merlot fix in the Sooner State might have a few more hoops to jump through than, say, California, it's far from impossible. Let's uncork the truth about Oklahoma wine delivery!
Can You Ship Wine To Oklahoma |
The Good News: Wine Not?
Yes, you can get wine delivered to Oklahoma! But here's the thing: it has to come straight from the winery itself. No middlemen, no corner store detours. Wineries need a special permit to ship to Oklahoma, so you might have to do a little online browsing to find one that plays ball in the Sooner State.
Pro Tip: Many wineries will proudly display their shipping policies on their website. Look for a section on "shipping to Oklahoma" or "direct shipping states."
The Not-So-Bad News: Limits, They Are a Part of Life
Alright, so you've found a winery that ships to Oklahoma. Congratulations! But before you go on a virtual wine binge, there's a small caveat: there's a limit to how much vino you can have delivered per year. We're talking a cool six nine-liter cases (that's 72 bottles, folks) from any one winery. Plenty to keep your inner sommelier happy, but not enough to build a wine cellar in your basement.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Side Note: This isn't a free-for-all. There are also limits on how much you can purchase from all wineries in a year, but that number is much higher (we're talking dozens of cases). Check with the Oklahoma ABLE Commission for the specifics.
The Not-Even-News News: Age is Just a Number (But Not When It Comes to Wine)
This one should be a no-brainer, but just in case: you gotta be 21 or older to receive that precious Pinot Noir. The winery will likely ask you to verify your age electronically, and there will definitely be an "adult signature required" upon delivery.
Pro Tip: Don't try to be slick and have your underage neighbor sign for it. Not only is it illegal, but come on, that's just bad manners (and a surefire way to ruin a perfectly good bottle of Cabernet).
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
