At least the small wine shops don't have to worry about Wholefoods competing on bottle price. Based on experience, WF retail prices are similar to many smaller independents. Also, most chains do focus on either corporate wines and/or private labels. Like Christy, my background includes managing national accounts for wineries/importers.

In FL supermarkets are able to sell wine, but most people still choose to make their selections from wine shops which offer better selections, better service, and often even better prices.

Everyone is doing well. The supermarkets wine shelves are corporate. Doesn't matter the store. The Whole foods,Greenlifes etc have a better selection but there still are alot of wines out there. I understand any ones reluctance to chance when you established a business model on existing rules. But I believe that whatever offers me the most choices and best prices is good for all. We shouldn't have all these bizarre, archaic rules and regulations. The businesses that can adept will do well and those that don't will go away. That's just the way it is.

Otherwise, there is no point in moving forward with it. She really gave a balanced view on the subject matter, likely due to her job history as she mentioned.

Too bad she's, understandably, reluctant to deal with a more rational market but I like her pluck and attitude in general. She should be able to do all of those things and take a serious chunk out of the NYC market. Now to get rid of community boards... She’s got great ideas about proper rules and a good attitude.
