How Do Products
Appear on Store
Shelves?
Vendors of distilled spirits
and related products make
presentations to Virginia ABC
quarterly. ABC's decision to
list a new product is based
on criteria that include
trends, category needs, sales
history in other states, brand
strength and recognition,
packaging and appearance,
special order demand,
customer requests, price
and promotional support.
Additional consideration
may be given to products
that are made or distilled
in the Commonwealth of
Virginia or that have been
awarded the distinction
of " Virginia's Finest " by
the Virginia Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services. After a product is
approved, it is distributed to
a selection of ABC stores for
sale the following quarter.

or new residents holding
special permits. This

returning from overseas,
new Virginia residents

Virginia citizens returning

commonwealth. Violations

$500 and a year in jail. In
addition, the vehicle used to
transport the alcohol may be
impounded and confiscated.
The Cost of a Bottle
Manufacturers and vendors
establish the base cost of
a distilled spirit product.

is not sold to anyone
underage, ABC store staff
request identification from
