Why Join NAWR

THE ONLY ORGANIZATION WORKING FOR PROGRESSIVE RETAILERS
NAWR is the only association in the United States working to protect and advance the interests of
progressive retailers working to address the national wine retail marketplace. While some state-based
retail organizations speak to state issues, none actively take up the cause of retailer shipping. NAWR does.

SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNTS ON FEDEX SHIPPING RATES
NAWR provides all its members with significant discounts on FedEX shipping services including a 67%
discount on the Signature Required Fee and up to 50% off shipping charges.

IMPORTANT SUPPORT OF PRO-RETAILER LITIGATION
NAWR is the only wine retailer association that takes an active role in various litigation efforts across the
country aimed at opening up more states for retailer to consumer shipping.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AIMED AT ADVANCING RETAILER INTEREST NAWR
undertakes strategic lobbying activity in key states with the goal of helping all its members across
the country.

HELP FOR PROGRESSIVE RETAILERS WILL COME FROM NO OTHERS
NAWR members know that they cannot expect wholesalers, producers and even most wine retailers to
look out for their interests or work to include retailers in the evolution of a modern American wine
regulatory structure. They know only NAWR takes up this cause.

REGULAR UPDATES ON IMPORTANT ISSUES TO PROGRESSIVE RETAILERS
NAWR provides its members with regular updates on issues across the United States of interest to wine
retailers who serve a national collection of customers and clients.

PROGRESSIVE RETAILERS MUST WORK TOGETHER
NAWR members know they must band together to support the work of NAWR and that without
partnering with other like-minded wine retailers, wine clubs and wine auction houses the idea of a
national marketplace for wine served by retailers will not be achieved and will even be under-minded by
competing interests in the industry.
