From Critics attack shipping of wine:
Prodded by Florida's alcohol distributors and retailers, the Senate regulated
Industries Committee approved a bill that would prohibit wineries that produce more than 250,000 gallons of wine a year from shipping directly to consumers.Supporters contend that tightly regulated wine shipping will ensure that the practice doesn't eventually spread to beer and liquor and ultimately undermine an existing alcohol-distribution network that they say is easy to monitor and regulate.
"I don't think Florida, or any other state, is ready to allow unlimited mail-order sales of alcoholic products," said John Fleming, a spokesman for the Florida Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking. The organization's members include Miami-based Southern Wine & Spirits, the country's largest wine and spirit distributor, as well as a host of business, law-enforcement and religious groups.
I tend to agree.....Fleming admits that he "don't think."
