States can’t discriminate in wine sales

In case you missed it, the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday held that states cannot discriminate against wine imports from out-of-state producers.  The Court struck down laws permitting in-state wineries to sell direct to consumers by mail, but denying that privilege to out-of-staters.  It’s not clear whether states, which have the power under the 21st amendment to ban all direct sales of alcoholic beverages, will respond by opening that door to out-of-state firms or closing it to their own.
