In West Virginia, spirits ready-to-drink cocktails (RTDs) are not allowed to be sold in grocery and convenience stores even though similar beer and wine products are already on the shelves. Spirits RTDs are available in grocery and convenience stores in 30 states, but not West Virginia.

Allowing RTD cocktails in grocery stores would be more convenient for you, and help West Virginia craft distillers sell more of their products. 

On top of the unfair market ban on these spirits RTDs, they are also taxed 19 times higher than beer products with the exact same alcohol content.

Lowering the tax rate helps your wallet while allowing local distillers to enter this booming category.

These changes would be a win for you, a win for local businesses and a big win for your next get-together.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD and ask legislators to expand market access to spirits RTDs and lower the excessive tax rate on these popular proucts.
