Judge Rejects Ban on Beer, Wine Shipments
From Times Wire Reports
Virginia’s ban on purchasing wine and beer from out of state is unconstitutional, a federal judge has ruled in a case that could allow state consumers more choice in buying from vineyards and breweries across the country.
On Friday, a federal judge said the law violates the Constitution by discriminating against out-of-state wineries and breweries that want to sell their products in Virginia.
Across the country, consumers are fighting similar restrictions.
