In what is shaping up to be a potentially major fight in the Legislature, a  coalition, including those two grocery giants, is pushing for passage of legislation to allow wine to be sold in retail grocery stores in counties where alcohol is legal.sweet red wine meaningBut Nathan McHardy, owner of Briarwood Wine and Spirits in Jackson, said allowing big box stores to sell wine would greatly erode and undermine local businesses.“good white wine with salmonWe are facing Armageddon. best selling wine in 2014It’s dangerous to us,” McHardy said.Kroger spokeswoman Teresa Dickerson said the retailer supports the Looking for Wine? initiative "because our shoppers are asking us for convenience and options. By providing beer and wine selections in area Kroger stores, we can provide a comfortable environment for our shoppers, and this opportunity will save customers a tremendous amount of time.

Plus, wine pairs extremely well with dinner.""Our customers are our top priority,"  she said.Camille Scales Young, a lobbyist who is spearheading the Looking for Wine? said people want convenience. “For millennials, everything is about convenience.”However, the Mississippi Hospitality Beverage Association, made up of more than 600 independent beverage retailers, is adamantly opposed to changing state law.Association President Victor Pittman said if chains do not get to sell wines in their stores, their CEOs will still enjoy hefty salaries, take lavish vacations and stockholders will still make money, but a majority of local wine and spirit shop-owners will be out of business within a couple of years.Young, again emphasizing convenience, said that under state law no adult can bring a child inside a liquor store, so that prevents some people from stopping at a package store to buy wine.But Mississippi Bureau of Revenue spokeswoman Kathy Waterbury said Monday the law does not prohibit someone under 21 from entering a package store, nor does the law address whether that minor person must be accompanied by a parent while in the package store.

Many package stores have posted signs prohibiting minors from their businesses, or requiring them to be accompanied by an adult.  This is done at their own discretion at their business.  The law prohibits someone under 21 from buying or selling alcohol.Young said a study done by Mississippi State University shows the sale of a bottle of wine priced below $15 would increase if sold in grocery stores, but sales of those priced over $15 would not.“It will add jobs and lead to additional tax receipts,” Young said of the rationale for selling wine in retail grocery stores.Young said the effort is to allow the sale of wine in grocery stores in counties where alcohol sales are allowed, not in counties where alcohol is prohibited. Thirty-six Mississippi counties don't allow beer and wine sales, according to the Mississippi Bureau of Revenue. The bureau's Alcohol Beverage Control unit regulates dispensing of alcoholic beverages in the state.Of the 2,039 ABC permits issued, 606 are for package retailers (off-premises consumption only), said Waterbury.Several states have approved the sale of wine in grocery stores, including Tennessee.

The Tennessee law goes into effect July 1.McHardy said it will be more difficult to police wine from ending up in the hands of youth if sold in grocery stores. He said he can remember when he was a teenager how easy it was to buy beer in grocery stores."Alcohol, whether it is wine or spirits, must be sold, regulated and distributed differently than other consumer goods,” Pittman said of the Hospitality Beverage Association’s position. “Society has been dealing with the blessings and curses of alcohol for 6,000 years. Never in all that time has convenience and accessibility to alcohol been a good or safe idea, especially to the underaged. It should only be sold to adults, by adults, in places where adults shop and work. Alcohol is not a purchase that should be made on an impulse. It's a purchase that should be considered carefully by an adult mind."If wine were allowed to be sold in grocery stores, the same laws would apply, Young said. It couldn’t be sold to minors.Pittman said 38 percent of states don’t allow wine or spirits in grocery stores: "These states put public health over out-of-state corporate profit," said Pittman, who is also an executive vice president of the national American Beverage Licensees.Young said 37 states have passed legislation to allow wine to be sold in retail stores.“
