....really suck. I just moved from Colorado to Ohio and now have to deal
with two issues: 1. No shipping direct from wineries. 2. I don't know if the rest of you are aware of this, but I just found out that all wine in Ohio retail stores has to be marked up 130% from the wholesale price. This is the law in Ohio. Now it doesn't apply to beer or spirits, just wine. Every wine establishment I have tried has had prices way, way above what I used to pay in Colorado at any of Lucas Liquor, Applejacks, Davidson's, Argonauts or County Line. I'm finding typical prices 30-50% more than I paid in Colorado. Not to mention that the selection is awful in Ohio due to, I would believe, the inability to sell much wine at these prices. All I can say is that this really, really sucks. Ok, now that I have that off my chest, I have a question in regards to #1. Someone told me that if I have the wine shipped to a place of business, it would be ok to buy direct from a winery. I find this hard to believe, but does anyone have any insight on this? Outside of that, how the hell do I get my hands on decent, correctly priced wine in Ohio? Lastly, what the heck is going on nowadays in regards to all these outdated laws? Dark Helmet |
