How to find wine & spirits distributors in Maine
478 federally permitted wine & spirits wholesalers at a Maine address across 171 cities, from TTB Basic Permit records. Account Finder doesn’t yet have a direct Maine state wholesale licence integration, so a search here leans on federal data — thinner and less differentiated than our licensed-state searches, and this page says so rather than dressing it up.

Companies with the most permitted locations in Maine
Ranked by how many separate TTB-permitted locations each company holds in the state — the closest honest proxy for footprint that federal Basic Permit data supports. It is not a curated “top distributor” list: TTB permits cover any wholesaler, importer or self-distributing retailer, carry no phone number, portfolio or category, and a permit-holder is not necessarily taking on new brands.

|---|---|
| Walgreen Eastern CO., INC. | 48 permitted locations |
| Hannaford | 9 permitted locations |
| Hannaford Supermarket & Pharmacy | 9 permitted locations |
| Ammex Warehouse Company, INC. | 7 permitted locations |
| Shaw'S Supermarkets, INC. | 6 permitted locations |
| Bud'S Shop 'N Save | 3 permitted locations |
| Food City | 3 permitted locations |

Coverage note
Account Finder doesn’t yet have a direct Maine state wholesale licence integration — today that’s live for CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, NJ, NY, OR, TX and VA. A Maine search still runs, but it draws on federal TTB permit records only, which carry no phone number, portfolio or licence category, and are thinner than our licensed-state searches. We’d rather tell you that up front than have you spend a search finding out.
