The Vermont Division of Liquor Control (DLC) was created in 1933, when the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution repealed the Volstead Act (Prohibition). Control of the sale and distribution of alcohol was then transferred to state governments. In response, all states instituted some form of three-tier system of producers, wholesale distributors, and retailers to promote moderation in consumption, prevent concentration of power, and raise revenues through taxes.

Vermont is considered a "Control State" where the State controls the sale of distilled spirits through government agencies at the wholesale level.  The State also exercises control over retail sales for off-premises consumption through designated agents located throughout the state of Vermont. See below for information and forms regarding regarding retail business operations.
