(Wine Searcher) - The stakes: The Court could possibly throw out all state liquor laws that discriminate against out-of-state businesses, potentially allowing residents in much of the US to order wine from anywhere.

The case: The state of Tennessee has laws requiring liquor store owners to be residents for two years, but a quirk in the law makes it effectively 10 years. Two shop owners – the multistate chain Total Wine and a couple who moved from Utah to Memphis for their daughter's health – were issued licenses after a court battle. The Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association, which doesn't want the competition, is fighting their licenses.
