Signaling a new era for wineries hampered by laws dating back to the repeal of Prohibition, Gov. George Pataki this week authorized the direct shipment of wines in and out of New York. A Supreme Court ruling in May struck down as discriminatory laws in New York and Michigan that allowed in-state wineries but not out-of-state businesses to ship to consumers. The decision blew the lid off a disputed distribution system that barred wineries in 22 other states from shipping directly to out-of-state customers.

New York Gov. George Pataki has authorized the direct shipment of wines into and out of New York, signaling a new era for state wineries hampered by alcoholic beverage laws dating back to the repeal of Prohibition in 1933.
“It is really the next important step for New York wineries to continue to grow,” Pataki said after a bill-signing ceremony at Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars in the heart of the burgeoning Finger Lakes wine country in west-central New York.
