AP--California vintners are hoping mail-order and online sales will deliver new profits this season, with more states than ever allowing consumers to have wine shipped to them direct from the producer.
"There'll be lots of wine in people's stockings, I hope," said Tom Shelton, president of Joseph Phelps Vineyards in St. Helena. "I think we've made extraordinary progress this year."
A decade ago, only a handful of states permitted wineries to ship directly to consumers. But the number is now at 26, with recent federal court decisions striking down bans in Michigan, Texas and Virginia. The issue is expected to wind up before the Supreme Court.
