National Wine & Spirits, Inc. is committed to responsible enjoyment of its alcoholic products. As part of that commitment, our efforts focus on:

• Preventing underage sales and drinking
• Encouraging responsible consumption by adults
• Supporting the three-tier system
  

Responsible enjoyment of alcoholic beverages by adults is made possible by the controls put in place when the three-tier system was created at the end of Prohibition in 1933. Suppliers (manufacturers) of alcoholic beverages sell their products to wholesale distributors who, in turn, sell to retailers. This regulatory structure ensures the best products reach adult consumers through licensed retailers.

We partner with local and national organizations that sponsor programs to promote responsible drinking. Please visit these websites to learn more about what these organizations are doing to promote responsible consumption.
