What it's about
Ohio asks the Supreme Court to uphold parts of its three-tier alcohol system that bar out-of-state retailers from shipping wine directly to Ohio consumers and limit how much alcohol residents may personally bring into the state. The case concerns whether those rules are permitted by the Twenty-first Amendment despite constitutional limits on state laws that burden interstate commerce.
Question presented
Under §2 of the Twenty-first Amendment, may a State restrict out-of-state retailers from directly shipping alcohol to in-state consumers and may it cap the amount of alcohol that individuals may personally transport into the State?
What happens next
Watch for the Court to decide whether to hear the case or for another scheduling move. No decision window is available yet.
Why it matters
The case could affect Ohio consumers seeking to order wine from retailers outside the state. It could also affect out-of-state retailers that want to sell directly to customers in Ohio.
The dispute concerns how far states may use the Twenty-first Amendment to control alcohol entering their borders.
