Wine is the sort of alcoholic
beverage that does not destroy,
but enriches life,
does not distort but clarifies perspective,
does not seduce, except in a way worth being humanly seduced.

Our Recent Meeting:

The Maine Wine Retailers Association is organized and operated as a trade association, with its primary purpose being to promote the common business interests of off-premise retail licensees in the State of Maine.

While this is our primary mission, we are dedicated to promoting education, enlightenment and responsibility in the world of wine.

The MWRA was formed in 2010 in response to legislation that was passed in 2009. The association was successful in overturning the law that required children be precluded from the possibility of witnessing a wine tasting. At the same time we were able to increase the number of tastings from 12 to 24 per year.

We have subsequently received 501(c)(6) status, drafted and adopted by-laws, elected a board and held our first two annual meetings.
