Responsible buyer
Target Buyer Primary (economic buyer): Owner, GM, or founder of an independent winery producing roughly 1,000–50,000 cases/year that ships wine club and online orders direct to consumers in 10+ states, with no dedicated in-house compliance headcount.
Cost of the gap
Painful Problem Every winery that ships DTC to more than a handful of states must track a different license type, volume cap, tax rate, filing cadence, and product/label rule set per state — and those rules change: three states materially amended DTC shipping law in 2025–2026 alone ( S3 ), and a pending Supreme Court matter adds further uncertainty ( S4 ).
Outcome
The Outcome We Sell A monthly, specialist-released Compliance Desk pack : every active state license verified current (or a renewal already filed), every required excise/sales tax return prepared and filed, every volume cap monitored against actual shipments with an early-warning threshold, and a plain-English risk register showing exactly what changed and what's coming due next.
Decision rule
Proceed only when the source record, service boundary, responsible reviewer, and release criteria can be named before work begins.
