Abstract
Given the importance of wine today and the questions left unanswered in Granholm, it is all too likely that the Court will once again be called upon to decide the future of the wine industry. This paper examines the historical, legal, and corporate structure of the wine industry in the United States, arguing that, post-Granholm, courts will continue to invalidate state alcohol statutes that discriminate against out-of-state businesses. This paper also discusses how states will likely respond to Granholm's application on various other alcohol regulations concerning wineries, retailers and distributors. Furthermore, this paper argues that the potential invalidation of state statutes prohibiting retailers from purchasing wine from out-of-state distributors will fundamentally alter the balance of power within the wine industry resulting in the demise of many wineries, a reduction in consumer choice and the permanent alteration of the business fundamentals of the wine industry.
