What do people who have experience buying wine in grocery stores in other
states think about claims that this would put smaller liquor stores out of
business and lead to a reduced wine selection?
My only experience with buying wine in liquor stores was in the
Netherlands. Grocery stores there generally had modest but appealing wine
selections, and the liquor stores with larger selections didn't seem to be
hurting. But my impression is that the Netherlands also has
"protectionist" measures for small businesses in general that would never
be tolerated here.

Wine belongs with food in a truly civilized society. With all the negatives
being expressed, why aren't all these folks working to get 3.2 beer out of
grocery stores. What about proposing an even exchange? Bad beer out and
good wine in.
