Wine Laws
by Carol Bancroft on August 31, 2007
From The Indy Channel:
The judge decided that the law discriminated against out-of-state wineries, noting that many states - including the three states that account for 90 percent of U.S. noncarbonated wine - automatically give wholesaling privileges to their wineries. . .
The judge said Indiana's law violated the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution, and his order stops the state from enforcing the rules he declared to be unconstitutional. . .
"You can't allow wineries in one state to have an advantage over wineries in another state," said Ed O'Keefe, CEO and founder of Chateau Grand Traverse. "It's not right."
This is great news not only for the wineries, but also residents of Indiana who can now purchase wines with greater ease.
