April 20, 2010, 7:56pm (report abuse)This bill is simply an attempt to require everyone who buys wine to pay tribute to the wine wholesalers for each bottle. It is a massive fraud and is designed to line the wholesalers pockets and deny consumers the right to a wine of their own choosing. It is a blatantly dishonest bill.

Cali, for the love of all things holy, at least let us have a nice bottle of wine for dinner.
IMO, your focus is in the wrong place. Who not let farmers grow hemp for textiles, paper, and everything else in which hemp fibers can be used inexpensively and still durable. It is much better than cutting down trees, as growing hemp is quick and easily wherein trees are not only good for our climate, but it takes a long effing time for them to be of use. Additionally we can do the same with hemp ( you know that the DoIndepence was written on it, right?) It is so much faster and a highter (LOL, J/k) return on investment to use hemp instead of trees. Just me 2 cents.....

Watch this carefully -- these have a way of sneaking under the radar of the media headlines and becoming law.
At least this is not scheduled for review this session (Pelosi seems to be opposed although 119 Reps have signed on) and no comparable measure has yet surfaced in the Senate.

H.R. 5034 looked interesting to me when I saw it this morning. It’s a bill to “support State based alcohol regulation, to clarify evidentiary rules for alcohol matters, and to ensure the collection of all alcohol taxes.” OK. But what...
