The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) would be a good place to start your research: http://www.ttb.gov/.

More so, do you know if wine can be sold with the same license as beer?

Thanks

I’m not sure whether that’s the problem causing the poor availability in your area, but they’d be worth contacting with the question. Their website is http://www.beertown.org.

Another good one, dedicated to getting alcohol laws changed, is one here in my state called Marylanders for Better Beer and Wine Laws, found online at:

Was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to get quality beers sold at grocery stores in the Twin Cities. What, are we in the Dark Ages here? I recently signed up to support the WIne with DInner/Minnesota Grocers Association fight, but was distraught to find out after the fact that they are only lobbying to get wine on the shelves. Help!
