Good holiday news for District oenophiles: via the Examiner, the D.C. Council is considering legislation that would boost the amount of wine you can could have shipped to you from outside the city to two cases per month, per home or business. Currently an individual is limited to only one quart of wine per month if you don’t have a manufacturer’s, wholesaler’s or retailer’s license.

Of course, retailers and wholesalers are expected to oppose the bill, because it would do away with the advantage they currently hold as the only people who can import large quantities of wine into the District.

Ward 1 Council member Jim Graham introduced the bill, which is expected to be taken up by the Council after the winter recess.
