Court Strikes Down Ban on Wine Shipments
Soon, [info]shaynehunter, Fat Tire Ale will be within your reach!

The gist: Courts say state laws prohibiting direct shipping of wine to customers is bunk because forcing out of state companies to go through an in-state distributor interfers with interstate commerce. However, this could mean that some states will make *all* sales go through a distributor - like MD does already. Not being able to buy wine in the grocery store is bunk. I'm just saying.

So neat. Will be able to get booze shipped right to me! Pahrteeeeh.

That it did! And made little sense - especially in Michigan where alcohol sales arne't through a state run store anyway. I could see some place like VA where liquor sales are all run by teh state where that would make sense but even then, you can get beer and wine in the grocery store in VA. So still stupid.

Strongbow. I may finally be able to get Strongbow cider! Right now you can only get it on tap at Fado's and R.F.D. down in Chinatown.
