Why Texas Matters in Alcohol Shipping
Texas plays a massive role in the U.S. alcohol industry, and it’s still expanding. The state is:
- Home to 130+ distilleries producing whiskey, vodka, gin, and more
- 5th largest wine-producing state, with 400+ wineries and a deep-rooted viticulture history
- Boasting 360+ craft breweries producing over 1 billion barrels of beer each year
What’s growing fastest? Liquor and RTDs, which have seen an 8.6% CAGR growth over four years, outpacing beer (+0.22%) and wine (+0.13%).
Shipping Services Tailored for the Texas Market
At Advantage, we handle everything from full truckloads to LTL (less-than-truckload) cold-chain shipments across Texas. We proudly serve businesses in:
- Houston: A central logistics hub for spirits and RTDs
- San Antonio: Popular for agave-based liquors and local wine
- Dallas & Fort Worth: Large-scale beverage distributors and retail centers
- Austin: Ground zero for RTD and craft alcohol innovation
- Corpus Christi, Laredo, Beaumont, Midland: Growing cities tied to tourism and cross-border markets
No matter your location, we ensure that your alcohol products arrive safely and meet state compliance requirements.
Shipping liquor in Texas means understanding the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code (TABC)—a unique set of rules shaped by the state legislature. A few key things to know:
- Three-tier system: Producers, distributors, and retailers must stay separate
- Direct-to-consumer shipping is permitted for wine (with permits), but not for spirits or beer
- All shipments must follow Texas documentation and labeling requirements
To stay compliant, it’s smart to work with carriers like Advantage that understand TABC’s complexities. For more, visit the TABC FAQs.
