Delaware has 351 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 16 wineries, 7 distilleries, 150 importers, and 178 wholesalers. That is the 40th most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is Delaware's per-capita permit rate?

Delaware has 34.0 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 9th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Delaware city has the most permit holders?

Are breweries included?

No. Breweries do not hold an FAA Basic Permit, they operate under a Brewer's Notice (IRC §6103, protected from disclosure), so they are not in the public TTB List of Permittees this directory is built from.

Where does this data come from?

The TTB FOIA "List of Permittees," published August 2026, public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.

Reading Delaware's count-vs-density split

Delaware holds 351 federal alcohol permits (#40 of 52 by count) but ranks #9 at 34.0 per 100,000 residents — count rank and density rank diverge on this state. Federal Basic Permits authorize FAA Act activity, not retail sale, and are not a substitute for the state ABC license.
