Connecticut Registered Liquor Brands with Expiration and Status

Connecticut law requires registration of all alcoholic liquor brands sold in the state with the Department of Consumer Protection. The dataset includes brand names, authorized wholesalers, and registration validity periods. Registration is valid for three years and must be renewed, with fees paid by the manufacturer or importer.

Use Cases

• Track brand registration validity and renewal cycles using EFFECTIVE and EXPIRATION dates.
• Analyze the distribution network for specific brands by linking BRAND-NAME to authorized WHOLESALERS.
• Monitor the operational status of brand registrations (e.g., active, expired) using the STATUS column.
• Identify out-of-state suppliers involved in the Connecticut market via the OUT-OF-STATE-SHIPPER field.

Strengths

• Data is mandated by state law, suggesting a formal collection process.
• Includes temporal validity fields (EFFECTIVE, EXPIRATION) for tracking registrations.
• Contains unique identifiers (CT-REGISTRATION-NUMBER) for record linkage.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
