The presence of brick and mortar wine cay an xoa chua benh gan stores and liquor outlets is never going to disappear from the retail landscape. There is simply too much production of wine and spirits from around the world that, in order to be imported, needs to have a dedicated market place. Combined with the national and state laws that govern importation and sales, expansion into other traditional marketplaces is limited. Thanks to changes in certain laws, however, expansion into non-traditional marketplaces is expanding and it is helping to take the Mom and Pop wineries from California and even lesser known wine producing regions and introduce them to a brand new national audience.
The creation of the laws that allow special tax breaks for small batch wineries and the introduction of direct sales via the internet and home delivery is just another step in the long slow process of repairing the damage caused by prohibition almost 100 years ago. Before the implementation of the Volstead Act in 1920, home brewing, distilling and wine making was a popular activity for many people. When the amendment was finally overturned in 1933, the laws put in place still prohibited the small scale production of any form of alcoholic spirit. These laws stayed on the books for over 40 years until they cay an xoa chua ung thu gan were first successfully challenged by small-time home brewers who financially couldn't compete with the behemoths of the industry.
What was good for beer soon became good for wine and liquor as well. Small batch wineries and distilleries began to open for the first time in three generations all across the country. With advances in production technology and people becoming reacquainted with the trade, pretty soon exceptional regional wine was being produced everywhere. Unfortunately, the limitations of the economy still prevented these small wineries from competing against the large producers who monopolized the business. The laws of production had changed; now it was time to challenge the laws of distribution.
It's hard to imagine what level of success there would have been if not for the internet. Now that people could learn cay an xoa what they were missing, it galvanized them to demand ways to get it. The success of other forms of e-commerce soon paved the way for wineries to offer their selections outside of their own vineyards for the first time. They no longer had to obtain the capital needed for national distribution by the truckload. By selling one case, or even one bottle, at a time, they could maintain a much lower overhead and afford to stay in business.
This trend continues to this day. While more liquor and wine stores are doing what they can to bring in new small batch vineyards for their customers, there simply isn't enough shelf space for everything. That is why some of the most exciting new wines and wineries of California you might see and taste will first come to you at your front door.
