Legislation Allows
Wine Shipments To Homes
Inside Tucson Business
News Briefs, June 12, 2006
A battle between wine
distributors, small wineries and oenophile Arizonans has been
settled with Gov. Janet Napolitano’s signature on
legislation allowing Arizonans to receive direct shipments
from small wineries through orders placed online, by
telephone, by fax or by mail. Current Arizona law permits only
in-state wineries to ship to home addresses but it requires
the recipient to order the wine in person.
The new law also permits wineries to
open tasting rooms in metropolitan areas and operate wine
clubs, where members may receive regular small shipments of
wine.
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck
laws in Michigan and New York that had allowed in-state
wineries to ship directly to home addresses but not
out-of-state wineries. The court ruled that gave in-state
wineries favored status and was a restraint of interstate
commerce.

Wine is a food, and can spoil if not stored
appropriately. Although most wine enthusiasts define their
preference in temperature, it is recommended wine be
stored at around 57 degrees Fahrenheit. And, as you know,
wine should be stored on its side, keeping the corks wet.
