250,000 Bottles of Wine Illegally Shipped into Michigan One of every three bottles of wine shipped to Michigan was done so illegally. A modern-day bootlegging industry has many in Michigan unwittingly consuming illegal booze. According to a release from the Michigan Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association (MB&WWA), nearly one-third of every bottle of alcohol shipped into Michigan in 2019 was shipped illegally. The data compiled by MB&WWA shows in total, 2,233,880 bottles of alcohol were shipped into Michigan in 2019, and of those bottles, 734,365 were shipped illegally. Data collection for 2020 and 2021 has been slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic so the number may continue to grow.
