(WGRZ) - The wine industry in New York renewed its push Tuesday to allow for sales of wine in grocery stores, despite opposition from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a stalled effort in the Legislature.
The New York Wine Industry Association, Wine Grape Growers Association, Farm Bureau, Business Council and allied businesses cited a February report from the Food Marketing Industry that said package stores have not lost business in states where consumers can buy wine in grocery stores.
