High court weighs state wine shipping rules in Internet era
The Supreme Court heard challenges to Michigan and New York bans on direct wine shipments from out of state wineries. Justices weighed three-tier alcohol regulation against the 21st Amendment and equal protections while wineries argue for direct online sales to compete with large producers. The cases could affect taxes, fraud safeguards, and underage drinking controls in a $21.6 billion industry with thousands more wineries since 1980.

Dell trims corporate PC prices on lower component costs
Dell Inc says it is cutting prices by up to 22 percent on select servers workstations desktops and notebooks for U.S. corporate and institutional clients. The Round Rock Texas company notes the cuts pass along lower component costs and are not aimed at consumers. Dell spokesman Tom Kehoe calls timing coincidental while analysts link the move to broader tech market shifts amid Lenovo IBM acquisition chatter.
