One state resolves wine direct-shipping issue — could Ohio be next?
One prominent Midwestern state has found a way to resolve its wine direct-shipping issues, and the resolution appears as if it will please wine consumers who are on the receiving end of some of those direct-from-the-winery shipments, according to this Wines & Vines story entitled “Illinois Opens to Direct Shipping.”
The new Illinois law also allows small wine producers to bypass wine wholesalers and distribute their wines directly to retailers — something that to my understanding, would NOT be legal in Ohio under current laws (correct me if I’m wrong). What impact would it have in Ohio if we were to embrace such a law?
Illinois lawmakers didn’t embrace free-market openness entirely: The Illinois law also appears to prohibit out-of-state wine retailers from shipping directly to Illinois consumers through the Internet.
The Ohio General Assembly is contemplating changes in the Buckeye state’s wine laws. Anybody know the latest on these efforts? And what do you think of the Illinois law?
