Excited to share big news — The Digest of Wine & Spirits Law is now part of Barnes Beverage Group!🍷🍸

After more than 30 years of serving the industry, we are thrilled to announce that wineandspiritslaw.com has been acquired by Barnes Beverage Group, a leader in alcohol beverage law and compliance.

Since 1991, The Digest (often called “the Red Books”) has been the trusted resource for wine, spirits, and beer professionals navigating the complex world of federal and state regulations. What began as a quarterly printed publication by Mary Kramer has grown into the industry’s premier online compliance database — helping thousands of producers, wholesalers, importers, and retailers stay informed and compliant.

We are confident that this next chapter under Barnes Beverage Group will strengthen and expand The Digest while preserving everything that has made it indispensable. Our commitment remains the same: delivering clear, practical, and reliable guidance so you can focus on building your business.

A heartfelt thank you to Compliance Services of America for their outstanding stewardship and for being such a wonderful partner during this transition. Your dedication to the Digest and to the industry has been truly appreciated.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to continuing to support you with the same quality content and service you’ve relied on for decades — now with even greater resources and expertise behind us.

Visit us at wineandspiritslaw.com and stay tuned for updates as we build the future of The Digest together.

Here’s to the next 30+ years!
