Wholesale alcohol rules in Florida
Whether a producer may sell direct to a retailer here, by beverage class. Each row says how well sourced it is: whether we read the statute ourselves, or are still working from our own notes or a secondary summary.
This is the producer-to-retailer lane. Sales through a licensed wholesaler are the ordinary route and are not what these rows describe. Nothing here is legal advice — it is a record of what we read, published so you can check it.

A class not listed above is one nobody has read yet — not even a secondary summary. It is not a finding that Florida forbids it. Every row above links the statute it rests on, so you can check the reading for yourself.
