[ale] [OT] Out-of-state wine sales legalized

[Sean Kilpatrick]

The supreme Court today ruled that internet wine sales are legal.

The Reuters story reads in part,

" WASHINGTON (Reuters) - States cannot ban direct out-of-state wine 
shipments if they allow their wineries to sell directly to consumers, the 
U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday in a decision that could lead to lower 
prices and more easily available choices.

"By a 5-4 vote, the high court ruled that the bans involving out-of-state 
wineries unconstitutionally discriminated against interstate commerce. Such 
laws have been adopted in 23 states while the other 27 states allow direct 
wine sales, industry officials said."
