Wine Online - Wine sales and the internet market

摘要

Buying and selling wine over the internet has captured the interest of consumers, producers, and sellers across the nation. The regulations controlling the industry, however, are complex and vary by state. Wine shipping laws are often different for wine producers and wine retailers; additionally, litigation is pending in several states to open markets and allow everyone to ship wine directly to both in-state and out-of-state consumers. Clearly the wine industry is big business, and while both retailers and wineries want to capitalize on the market demand, their interests, to some extent, are competing.
