Supreme Court Bans Interstate Wine Shipping
[CrushingGrape] The Supreme Court in an unprecedented move, not only ruled to uphold a state’s right to outlaw shipping of wines to wine club members whose wine clubs are located in another state. The Court took it upon itself to further rule that states are required to actively prevent consumers from bringing alcohol they purchased in other states into their home state. Legal scholars were shocked by the Court’s ruling on the law which was intended to stop retailers from selling imported alcohol without paying import tarrifs.
