A win for wine lovers

Limits on sales of wine rejected

The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday made it easier for consumers to buy wine directly from out-of-state wineries with a ruling that struck down state restrictions on the sales.

John, this means you're going to send me a case of Domaine St. Michelle from Washington State when our baby comes, right?

I think I can do better than that...

It's kind of a limited ruling. It doesn't, for example, strike down Maryland's law because Maryland's ban on shipping wine applies both to in-state and out-of-state breweries, unlike the ones in the case before the Court which prejudiced the wine industry in-state against those out of state, thus violating the Constitution's provisions on interstate commerce regulation.

Ken, you're just trying to throw cold water on our joy!

Scalia, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer and Souter vs. Thomas, O'Connor, Stevens and Rehnquist. Weird.
