Proposed liquor legislation in New York state could result in the city having " almost no access to older vintage wines " . The prohibition could be a disaster for independent wine shops . The purpose of the law is to make wine retailers more American wholesalers for their supplies , which would in effect give the latter control of a single brand or brand . This would mean a more homogeneous market and could create monopoly situations by preventing some merchants from buying wine from other sources beyond these outlets , such as private retailers .
Proposed liquor legislation in New York state could result in the city having "almost no access to older vintage wines". The bill could be a disaster for independent wine shops. The purpose of the law is to make wine retailers use American wholesalers for their supplies, which would in effect give the latter control of a single brand or label. This would mean a more homogeneous market and could create monopoly situations by preventing some merchants from buying wine from other sources beyond these wholesalers, such as private collections.
