Protectionism Gathers Pace Wine through the States!
Hardly a day passes without fresh news of job cuts in the wine industry. The current economic situation makes all market areas are facing difficult trading conditions. Apparently, the stores are stimulation themselves in an attempt to avoid dropping too many bombs cordinate the same time.
The unintended effect of drip feed the world with news of job losses is that no one would have had time to recover from the previous day's news before being met with a series of statistics and job cuts, which prolongs depressed mood on the street.
Today it was announced that the wine merchant Creve Coeur Ltd store closing (Usher itself, musician Usher) Atlanta wine bar goes bankrupt and the company Kendall-Jackson father is laying off 170 employees.
All this in a sector that actually experienced some growth in sales last year, less than 1 percent, where most other sectors of the economy shrunk.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg, It should come as no surprise that some sectors want to protect the market share they have today. One example is the dispute between the "people of the" Massachusetts and the decision of U.S. District Judge of the Court. This decision by Judge Rya Zobel ruled unconstitutional a Massachusetts law restricting the sale of wine directly to consumers of the wineries that produce less than 30,000 gallons of wine per year and have not used a wholesaler for the last six months.
Well, that sounds very complicated, as these laws tend to be. But the question here is actually the market share and the need to ensure that indegenious companies are not expelled from their place in the multitude of producers smaller scale.
On another front, the floor of New York suggested a renewed effort to stop the sale of wine in supermarkets and convenience stores. The views on this question differ, there is a surprise. A retailer is quoted as saying that the introduction of this law have been driven out of business, one welcomes the arrival of competition and thinks it's a great thing to have competition.
The government sees it as a way to help local wineries while increasing tax revenue for state. the police are not happy with the prospect of easier access to alcohol by minors.
Can all this be for the greater good industry? The goal is not to present a solution to this mother of all bogs, but to highlight how different parts of the industry deals with crisis. The state wants to increase revenue, the companies want to increase revenue and the police want as well, police the streets. The combined effect of all this is to leave the industry in limbo while a decision is being made and the partners against suing or sued.
What is clear is that each state will go to any length to be done to ensure survival. In what will endanger more than just a company but the whole industry because the risk is only a few wineries and retailers will be important in existence at the end of the valley economy.
