I recently took a trip to napa valley where I found having wine shipped home to Pennsylvania was prohibited. It had not crossed my mind there would be a state law preventing direct wine shipping. Bills have been introduced, however responses have been slow to passing a direct shipping legislation. Here is an intersting article I found on the subject.

Yeah I wouldnt have thought that there was a law in place for that either esp since napa valley is such a big place to get some of the best wine from, what a shame.
ReplyDeleteThe PA Liquor Control Board has a death-grip on all things alcoholic in this state.
ReplyDeleteEven better is the 3-tier system for beer distribution.
Vendor --> Wholesaler --> Distributor
In most of the world, the vendor sells directly to larger distributors (supermarkets, bars, etc).
