Louisiana will shift state requirements for wine container sizes and case configurations to match the federal standards as of August 1, 2026. Wine will be permitted to be sold in via wholesaler or shipped into Louisiana via direct-to-consumer sales in any container size approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
The law also updates the allowable number of wine containers per case for several container sizes. These changes may create new merchandising and sales opportunities for products that were previously unavailable in the state. See below for the specific case configuration changes.
Wine Container sizes Containers per case:
Wine Container Size | Containers per Case |
5 through 20 liters | 1 |
4 liters | 4 |
3 liters | Not more than 6 |
1.5 liters | Not more than 6 |
1 liter | Not more than 12 |
750 ml | Not more than 12 |
500 ml | 12 |
375 ml | 24 |
355 ml | 24 |
250 ml | 24 |
200 ml | Not more than 48 |
187 ml | 48 |
Note: "Not more than" indicates the maximum number of containers permitted in a case for that container size.
