An initial on-site face-to-face transaction with the consumer is required. IN consumers may only receive off-site shipments if they have made a previous purchase on the premises of the winery. The law limits direct wine shipments to 24 cases from a winery to a consumer and a winery may not ship more than 3,000 cases into Indiana each year.
