How to find wine & spirits distributors in Mississippi
Mississippi is one of five US control states for wine & spirits — the state itself is the wholesaler, so there is no private distributor tier to prospect for those categories. Federal records still show 532 TTB-permitted wholesalers at a Mississippi address across 108 cities (mostly beer, which stays private here); for wine & spirits, the route to market is a state listing plus a broker.

Control state
Mississippi runs wine & spirits wholesale itself. What that means for a new brand.
Mississippi: the state itself is the wholesaler
What changes here
Control state: the state itself is the wine & spirits wholesaler in Mississippi. Instead of private distributors, plan for a listing with the Mississippi Department of Revenue’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Division and work with brokers to represent the brand. Cold-calling private wholesalers is the single most common mistake a new brand makes in a control state — there usually isn’t one to call for wine & spirits.
The two real jobs
Getting listed with the state’s own purchasing process, and finding the broker who already works alongside it. Read the full control-states playbook for how both work in practice.

Companies with the most permitted locations in Mississippi
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. Several names below will be beer wholesalers, since private wholesale still operates for beer in Mississippi even though wine & spirits does not — this list doesn’t separate the two, because the TTB permit record itself doesn’t say which categories a permit-holder actually moves.

|---|---|
| Southern Beverage CO., INC. | 7 permitted locations |
| Clark Beverage Group INC. | 4 permitted locations |
| Gday Wine & Spirits | 4 permitted locations |
| Mitchell Distributing | 4 permitted locations |
| Stokes Distributing Company, INC. | 4 permitted locations |
