Wine America!

The Supreme Court is hearing cases today which can change the restriictions on interstate commerce of wine.


In-state liquor distributers have held in place laws which don't allow direct mailing of wine from out of state. That meant that, if you lived in NY, you couldn't get a nice Rex Hill Pinot Noir from Oregon sent to you by the winery. You had to buy it from an in-state liquor distributor. Bad for vintners, bad for consumers, spectacular for distributers profits.

Let's hope this changes.
