Applies to beer and wine too. It's a state law issue, thanks to (if 
memory serves) two teenagers getting a parent's credit card and ordering 
a case of beer to the house. Can't ship to any address inside North 
Carolina that's not a business that has a license for the alcohol in 
question. A friend shipped me a bottle of 25year Royal Lochnagar single 
malt from California via FedEx (they didn't know the law, and didn't 
ask me first) and it was confiscated at the border.

this batch".
