Wine shipping law overturned!

Then how about this for illogic... I'm making wine for me in X state, and sending it to MY cellar in Y state. I've made it for me, and sending it to me.

If I can convince the law that my wine is not going to anyone but me, technically, I'm legal. No tax laws involved.

If I send my wine to judges, and they taste, but don't swallow, they are not drinking my wine. If I provide funds for them to send the residual back, then I am in effect, sending my wine to me, with a stop over. It's legal.

No tax laws invovled.

What is my point of the above stupidity? If we can't change the law, we take the illogic of the law, find a loop hole, and use it to our advantage legally.

How's that for illogic? It's a long shot. I'm stetching reality here, but then, that's what the feds are doing I think. Or we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Actually, the ruling isn't that broad. It only affects those laws that treat out-of-state wineries different from in-state wineries. Many states have laws allowing direct shipment by in-state wineries, but not allowing out of state wineries to direct ship into the state. That's the only kind of laws that are affected by this ruling, and the states can fix the laws two different ways. They can either let out of state wineries do direct shipping, or they can eliminate direct shipping altogether. We need to watch our legislatures to make certain they do what is right.

You are so right!!!!!! The key to understanding a lot of stupid laws is understanding they are designed to provide revenue. Look at the tobacco laws or go buy tires for your car and you will pay a state, federal and then a tax for disposal of your old ones. As far as homebrewing laws go, I believe they are sometimes intentionaly vague so as to allow it for the majority of citizens but to also allow big brother to have a legal foothold to combat the yahoos that will invaribly abuse the privlege.
