US: Harris Teeter and E&J Gallo Winery put off plans for wine club
Mar 17, 2011 6
Harris Teeter and E&J Gallo Winery have tabled plans to partner and bring Harris Teeter shoppers a digital wine club.
This week, the companies withdrew their request for an exemption to state alcohol laws that would have cleared the way for the club.
The sticking point: a state law that prohibits an alcohol manufacturer, bottler or wholesaler such as Gallo from having a financial interest in the retailer with which it does business. It also prohibits such manufacturers from giving alcohol retailers any service or thing of value.
