Wine democracy in action
Apr 23, 2010
The alcoholic-beverage wholesale lobby is at it again, reaching into its deep pockets in an effort to buy its monopoly back after the Supreme Court said no.
In an American era when some join noisy rallies to shout out anger against government, wine lovers as citizens now have an opportunity to try to make the engine of government work for us.At stake is a bizarre piece of legislation proposed by the well-funded wholesale beer distributors, gleefully joined by the wine and liquor distribution industry.
The bill, H.R. 5034, would exempt state alcohol beverage laws from most federal review, restoring the situation that existed before the Supreme Court banned such anti-competitive and discriminatory practices in 2005, opening the way to legal direct-to-consumer wine sales in many states.
