Do you want to buy wine where you buy groceries?

Governor Paterson has proposed to allow the sale of wine in food stores throughout New York State.
A recent statewide poll shows that more than 70 percent of all New Yorkers support the idea of selling wine in food stores. The availability of wine in food stores provides greater convenience to consumers. It also supports the $1 billion a year wine and grape growing industry in New York, which, in turn, employs thousands of New Yorkers. This proposal will provide $105 million this year to the state’s revenue fund - obviously important in this difficult budget year - and more than $150 million over a two year period. And, all of this will happen without significant impact to the liquor stores throughout the state. This year — more than ever — it is time for wine.
