The Wine Collector

The folks over at Good Grape: A Wine Manifesto did a poll of wine consumers where a single question was asked: "What's the most important issue facing the wine industry?"

Answer: Wine shipping (with 56% of all replies).

Had I taken the poll, that would have been my answer too (my profile in the upper left corner of my blog lists Interstate shipping laws as my least favorite aspect of the wine industry).

We're trying to do something about it by being an active supporter of the Specialty Wine Retailers Association and you can do something too.  Join the SWRA's Consumer Outreach Email List.  Also see my prior post on this topic: Winning the wine direct shipping war.
