Federal court ruling on direct wine shipments to Michigan consumers
A Detroit federal judge ruled Michigan’s ban on direct shipping of wine from out-of-state retailers unconstitutional, a decision that may be affected by a forthcoming U S Supreme Court case. The suit, filed by Michigan consumers and a Fort Wayne retailer, challenges state liquor licensing and direct shipping rules. The Michigan Wine Wholesalers Association supports the law and may appeal after consulting with the attorney general.
