Free The Grapes!

[Rebel Rose]

Is anyone here a subscriber to Free the Grapes!? Do you find their newsletters useful and informative? Has anyone used their form letters to write in regarding wine shipping legislation?

I don't subscribe, as I receive all this news via industry announcements. But we're encountering so much confusion and frustration from customers, that I am thinking about printing up postcards with the Free the Grapes! address.

Also, for those of you in problematic shipping states, you can subscribe to the Specialty Wine Retailers newsletter for updates on pending action and legislation regarding shipping rights for wine retailers.

There is some confusion about shipping privileges, as most states will now permit wineries to ship wine in (pending paperwork and sometimes outrageous fees, of course) but will not permit retailers to ship.

They have done a tremendous job. I have written letters through them. I believe that they are an organization worth supporting.
