WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NAWR
The National Association of Wine Retailers (NAWR) is the only trade association advocating for increased access to the national wine marketplace for wine retailers. NAWR is particularly focused on opening more states for explicitly legal interstate shipping rights. NAWR also advocates for the right of retailers to purchase inventory directly from producers located anywhere in the country. NAWR is also involved in various initiatives that benefit retailers, such as active opposition to tariffs as well as providing balanced information on the question of alcohol consumption and health. To achieve these aims, NAWR uses lobbying, litigation, and education of the trade and regulatory community, as well as press outreach.
NAWR also funds and operates WineFreedom.org, a consumer-facing organization that educates consumers on their rights and provides them with the tools to help influence lawmakers to support consumer and retailer-friendly laws and legislation.
NAWR and WESHIP EXPRESS
NAWR and WeShip Express are aligned philosophically and strategically. They have long supported each other with the goal of giving retailers greater access to markets so that the progressive retailer can grow and flourish.
