Essential Representation

The National Association of Wine Retailers is the essential trade group for the modern American retailer for a number of important reasons:

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 many traditional 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.
