Comments on: France, Illinois, minimum pricing, Sting – sipped and spit http://www.drvino.com/2009/03/16/france-illinois-minimum-pricing-sting-sipped-and-spit/ wine talk that goes down easy Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:11:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: gary http://www.drvino.com/2009/03/16/france-illinois-minimum-pricing-sting-sipped-and-spit/#comment-216066 gary Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:53:03 +0000 http://www.drvino.com/?p=3494#comment-216066 I hope that ridiculous Illinois Law is repealed. Just a political perk to the Distributors at the expense of the consumer. As I said I don't really price shop on the internet, but use the ability to find wines I can't find in Illinois since not every liquor retailer has a wesite showing their products and even when they do it is far from complete. If what I want is available here I'm more than happy to buy as long as pricing is in line at that point. The French are out of their minds and will destroy their wine industry. It will become even more of a two tiered system, but with the have nots growing at a much faster pace. I hope that ridiculous Illinois Law is repealed.

No doubt the smart money is planning to open pubs on the south side of the border at exactly the same time. Overall, the proposal is a fine example of the puritanical approach: punish the many because of a few. “Separately, Scotland is set to impose minimum prices on alcohol by year-end”?

But vines are only a part of it according to the story. But he's into organic farming for the whole estate, fwiw. Ha, yes it is a big farm, Dylan.

If so that's 700 acres more than the amount of land we have planted on. Wow, is all of that property planted to vine? If so that’s 700 acres more than the amount of land we have planted on.
