It is not about wine, it
is about the freedom of trade within the United States. The unconstitutional
situation with wine sales is a grave barrier against free trade, as specified
in the US Constitution. It is abhorrent that an American is restricted by
Prohibition leftovers from carrying out his legal trade, and profession. But the Wine Wholesalers
claim the present system works, and it's all about overproduction. They have
created a working structure, and see a collapse of control of sales to
minors. Who is right? Alan Simpson will be
hosting a number of televised panel discussions at the National Press
Club, covering the hot topic of Internet Sales, and Direct Shipping of
Wines. The issue could make or
break many producers, and either improve the choice of wine, suppliers, and
distribution channels, or destroy them. It all depends on who you listen to
in the wine industry. |

There are many awards for
wine around the world. Most are given in grubby exhibition halls, on fold up
tables with cheap table cloths. Most are there to extoll the virtues of the
local vintage. When we started to find a
way of showcasing the very best around the world we realized that it was not
the wine that should be honored, but the winemaker, the grower of the grape,
the blender of the wine, the marketing genius behind the wine. Then there are
the blenders of Whisky, the creator of a new Vodka, and the creator of the
advertisement, or marketing campaign that created a whole new revolution in
enjoyment. The location of the first
awards dinner will be in Washington, DC. Chosen as a neutral venue, but to
show the Media, Congress and Administration that the industry does matter,
and can create a media splash for the voters. The first Awards are
planned for 2004, or earlier if the global network of volunteers, judges etc.
can be created, in time of war. |
