WINERIES STRUGGLE WITH CHANGING SHIPPING LAWS
The Associated Press did a story today on direct wine shipments in the U.S. and resulting legislative battles. Entitled “Wineries fight state shipping laws,” it’s mainly from a winery’s perspective.
“In the states where direct shipping is still banned, it often amounts to battle between wineries that want new customers and wholesalers who want to keep the system intact where intermediaries are a required step between wineries and customers. Wineries can also keep more profit if they don't rely on a wholesaler or retail store.”
The article discusses laws in Tennessee, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Arkansas, in addition to the various issues that wineries face with or without direct to consumer shipping.
