Massachusetts wine shipping legislation still in the works
Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is standing up for consumers in his state by Vetoing a bill that was still biased for local wholesalers. The bill wouldn’t allow shipping from wineries that produce more than 30,000 cases of wine direct to consumers if they had representation by local wholesalers within the past 6 months. The governor has called this anti-consumer and stated:
“This bill does not give wine lovers the opportunity to purchase the bottlings they want. It creates artificial barriers to protect Massachusetts wholesalers at the expense of a free market.”
Good on ya’ Guvna!
