Distance sales of alcoholic beverages during COVID-19

What is a distance contract?

A distance contract is an agreement between a consumer and a seller or service provider which they have concluded by one or more means of distance communication for the sale of goods or services.

Means of distance communication include but are not limited to the telephone, Internet, e-mail, fax, and other means of transmission of information.

Sale of alcoholic beverages using distance contracts is allowed only between legal enterprises licenced to sell alcohol and private individuals who are over the age of 18! The supplier must verify the age of the buyer at the time of delivery of the alcoholic beverages.

Delivery is prohibited from 22:00 to 08:00.

If the supplier repeatedly does not comply with the law and does not verify the age of the buyer, the seller’s retail license for sale of alcoholic beverages will be revoked.
