New Push To Allow Wine Sales In Grocery Stores
Ted FioralisoWednesday, March 17, 2010

ALBANY -- There's a new push tonight to allow the sale of wine in grocery stores.
     New York State Agriculture Commissioner Patrick Hoover has announced a new consumer choice campaign called “Convenience is choice.  Bring home the wine."
     Hoover says Gov. David Paterson's proposal to allow wine sales in grocery stores would provide "significant benefits to New York wineries, and give consumers the choice and convenience of purchasing a bottle of wine when shopping for dinner."
     The proposal is part of the governor's budget, which is now in the hands of the state legislature.
