The State Duma will allow the Russian Post to sell wine over the Internet.
Today, deputies will approve in the first reading bills on the launch of online sales of Russian wine through the Russian post office, so interlocutors in the sovereign economy reported in the State Duma. It will be possible to order Russian wines by mail, including sparkling and fortified wines.
For a state-owned company, this can become an additional source of income. In the summer, the State Duma adopted a law on its "recovery", and recently the FAS proposed to increase postal rates in 2027 by 8.1%. Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Digital Development reported that since 2022, the flow of foreign parcels through the Russian post office has halved.
