Quite possibly I'll go to another website, though. But what if THAT wine is available, but you can't have it because of where you live? Whether the wholesalers are losing business or not, it's a @#$%! shame that they feel they must throw millions into legislation that restricts a consumer's ability to buy THAT wine or a winemaker's ability to ship it to you.

The kind of wines that are bought direct are discretionary - they are bought because they want THAT wine. If THAT wine is unavailable, they don't run out and buy KJ instead, they don't buy anything!
