Q. Can I send wine or liquor through the mail?

A. No. Alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, and liquor) are nonmailable due to the federal law in Title 18 United States Code section 1716 (18 USC 1716).

For more information, see Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) C024.7.0 and Publication 52, Hazardous, Restricted, and Perishable Mail, section 42.
