Frequently asked questions

How many federal alcohol permits are in South Carolina?

South Carolina has 1,260 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 65 wineries, 62 distilleries, 213 importers, and 920 wholesalers. That is the 17th most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is South Carolina's per-capita permit rate?

South Carolina has 23.4 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 19th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which South Carolina city has the most permit holders?

Charleston leads South Carolina with 117 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Columbia, Greenville, North Charleston.

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 South Carolina's wholesalers-led permit book

South Carolina's 1,260 permits are wholesalers-led (920, 73% of the book), ranking #17 nationally by count and #19 by per-capita density. Federal Basic Permits authorize FAA Act activity, not retail sale, and are not a substitute for the state ABC license.
